I would again like to welcome you to PlanetChristmas and I hope your stay here is fun and informative.
Since it seems like a good time of year to post a newbie guideline, I would like to add something.
Please, please take the time to read topics and posts with any concerns you might have. There is a search bar up above you can use to aid in your questions. You can type in "mega tree" for any mega tree questions, or "sequence" for any sequence related concerns and so on... You get the idea. Also, there are other forums for comercial products that may be more helpful in your individual needs that can be found here at P.C..
There is just about every question asked here with an answer to follow. If you take just a little time to read and do your homework, you can just about answer your own questions. But I'll also add, there are a bunch of very nice and helpful members here on P.C. that are more than willing to help. But remember, this time of year (November and December) is our busiest time of year and the response may not be what you were looking for. We've all spent many hours learning from each other to get where we are today. You won't learn it all over night. It's just too complex.
So please take this advise. Read everything you possibly can to the topics that interest you (it should take several days if not weeks but you'll learn a lot), have a hot cup of cocoa and put your skills to the test. But make sure you keep it safe AND have fun doing it. That's why we do what we do. It's all fun....
P.S. Can we make this a sticky for the rest of the year?
Also, when you are looking for help include what you have tried that didn't work and what your ideas are. Give us as much info as you can so we can help you. PCers like to help those that try to help themselves.
We are glad you are here and we look forward to meeting you and learning from you, too.
