Welcome! I see you've already "published" something (AKA written something and put it in your portfolio). When you want to share it, there are 2 main ways--items and bitems (big items). You use braces, located just above the brackets on your keyboard. You need the item number. It's located under the description, but if you wrote or edited it recently, it will pop up automatically after the colon. I'll show you the code for creating item and bitem links using my contest and my challenge--partly because they pop up automatically so it's easier for me and partly for free advertising. You should come check them out.
If you decide to advertise your stuff on the Newsfeed, I recommend the bitem link. When you enter a contest, they usually want a bitem link as well. But the item link is great for linking to something in a conversation.
The other thing I suggest is start exploring the site by clicking the things on the left. See where they take you. When you go to the Newsfeed, the default takes you to your Personal Newsfeed. I recommend you check out the Community Newsfeed. There you will see what everyone is posting, not just those whose Plus Sign you've clicked.
To get to the Community Newsfeed, along the top of your Personal Newsfeed (which you get to by clicking Newsfeed), you will see "View the Community Newsfeed." Click that and you will see lots more notes. Scroll, Like, and comment. When you find a person you want to keep up with, click their Plus Sign, preferably twice until you see the megaphone. Either way, once or twice, you will start seeing their Newsfeed notes on your Personal Newsfeed, but if you become a fan (click twice), they get notified. Some people, like me, reward fans from time to time. Others will automatically fan you back. If you only click once, to set them as a favorite, they won't know so you can't get rewarded.
To fan an item so you can keep up with it more easily, click the Plus inside the item in the upper right corner. If you click the Plus in the bitem link, you are only fanning the person, not the item.
I hope you aren't feeling to overwhelmed now. lol Welcome and good luck!
