Hi -
I am amazed at the helpfulness of people in this community. As I reached 50 posts, I wanted to give something back as well, but what?

I started out helping a few people navigating the HF site, then decided to take it to the next level. Below is my take on an Unofficial Quick Start guide, adding visual references to many of the tips already on the site.

Please PM me if you see any inaccuracies.

Mods - move it or whatever as you will.
Thanks
TallPaul

Tip 11) Adding a video to your post has been updated to account for when you select the Share button on YouTube & get something like this.

I never knew about the navigating arrows, and the couple of videos I did post, I had to fiddle with it and preview it to figure out how it worked (both times, because I forgot how I did it the first time) -- this info would really have been helpful!
