Hello, Louise!
To answer your first question - getting to the gallery and posting pictures: If you will go to the Forum and click onto the FIRST forum listed - About this board, there are a couple of posts there describing how to get to the gallery and how to post pictures. If you read it and it is not clear to you, please let us know so that we can help you.
I'm pretty new here too, and it took me a minute to figure everything out. . . takes a little bit of time, but you'll do it, and pretty soon you'll be zipping around this forum like an old pro!
Your blog: I for one hope that you will post consistently!
I'll read it, definitely. I know several people read mine - sometimes they reply to it, sometimes they don't. . .and most of the time it takes a few days to receive replies because most people are out working or tending orchids or living life. . .I write in my blog because I like to write, and blogging this adventure for me is important to me.
I hope you will do the same!
Please don't feel self-conscious about your language skills! I don't mind one bit, and as you blog your language skills will continue to improve.
I read for the heart and the experience, both of which you did just fine with in this blog entry. I have several friends that are getting better with their language by blogging. If they don't know how to get a sentence across correctly, they simply ask. I don't mind your asking me.
Not at all. If you don't understand something I write to you, please don't hesitate to ask, I'll clarify it as many times as necessary until you understand.
I don't have much experience with orchids, but I know there are many here who do! I'm anxious to see your collection and learn from you, as well.
Have a wonderful night!
