so, here I am. Posting my intro thread. I've been here for five days, posting for four (I lurked for a day, trying to make up my mind). I never know what to put in these things.
Either way, hi y'all. My name is Melinda. I'm a SAHM and a full time student. I have three kids. I like to write (duh) and I'm really enjoying this site.
Welcome Melinda
All the best from Scotland :-)
Hi Melinda. Welcome to HubPages! Looking forward to checking out your writing.
Hi, Melinda. Wow, you're a SAHM with three kids and a full time student. I'm impressed. All the best to you here on Hubpages. Welcome!
Happy hubbing!
Thank you. I'm quite enjoying the challenge of having to find something to write every day. I laughed at myself the other day; i was in the waiting room of my hubby's ENT and deliberately browsing magazines and stuff looking for an idea for that evening. lol
You’re not “supposed to post an intro thread” though it is perfectly acceptable to do so. So welcome to the community.
If you want to make a more lasting impression on the community, make interesting, relevant posts in the forums consistently over time. Same for commenting on hubs. Do it regularly, and say something of value, not just “great hub”, “interesting”, etc.
Definitely. Honestly, I refuse to leave stuff like 'good job, tiger', if I can't think of anything better to say I don't say anything. lol On the other hand, though, coming in and just making myself at home would be weird. I'm new, so I'll just lurk and post when I seen an opening.
Welcome! If you want some feedback on your hubs, try putting one or two in the Extreme Hub Makeover forum.
Welcome, Melinda! You've joined a great place to learn and write - have fun doing both.

I would appreciate if Staff would tell me whether GamerGirl and Whitney, both of whom have chosen to crawl through all my output (output which staff courteously restored after I had totally deleted it on my sabbatical) and repetitively downthumb and flag me, have been assigned by staff as my...

Well, for the first time in 2 years, we are getting a snow. Yep, that's right, snow in the deep south. Been a while.....now they say up to 8 in. possible. I expect 4 in. where I live, a little south from the main band. So everybody freaks out and goes to Walmart and raids the shelves....

Okay this is great! I downloaded it this morning, and it's really working wonderfully. We all know Edweirdo, a very clever and useful hubber who created the HubDefender tool for us all which detects hub-theft and assists in dealing with it. Edweirdo has also written many helpful tutorial hubs on...

Was looking for new sources of backlinks (as you do), and decided to explore Excerptz this evening. Only to find a sad blog post from Ryan saying that his site took a hit:http://excerptz.com/2011/06/18/excerptz … sandboxed/He thinks he's been sandboxed - but look at the date of his post -...
