About This Newsletter

For Group where everyone is welcome


Welcome to this issue of the Noticing Newbies Newsletter.

I thought I would give more information on things to check out that you may enjoy and maybe help you get involved with places and also places that are just for newbies.


This newsletter's goal is to showcase our Newbies here at WDC in a wide range of different kinds of items to enjoy and give the Newbies some tools and items to help them along the way, as well as other places for them to check out and maybe join in or just explore.


Letter from the editor

Hello! I'm Sunny Author IconMail Icon, and I want to welcome all Newbies to our wonderful community of WDC. I hope that you will enjoy yourself and write your hearts out too. I have been here at WDC for many years and WDC is my second home. There are a lot more goodies here now than when I first came here and every year in September there are more goodies added as we celebrate WDC turning another year. Isn't that wonderful? This is the best community around. We are all so glad that you are here.

Be sure to check everything out on the left sidebar where you find your name and it will end with custom links. On the Right sidebar when you begin to favorite others it will show up there, it also shows your recent items that are the places you have visited, and other things as well be sure to check them out as well.


This newsletter is about and for you. And for seasoned members, I hope you'll find something you can take from my ramblings.
