@morgan.waser - your best bet is to jump in with both feet. The learning curve is pretty steep if you've never blogged before but we have a ton of people and resources to help incoming newbies! I'd say the majority of us are quite friendly.
So check out THE WELCOME PAGE and bookmark some helpful links, visit the NEW tab and find some people you can interact with, and get busy.
Shout out if you need help. :)
Thank you!
