Please give me any advice on how to navigate/post that isn't clear (which, honestly, to me, it's all of it).

[url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/forums/37-articles-guides]The Articles and Guides[/url] section is a great place to look for anything that's not immediately obvious. There are several great guides to using the site's BBcode, creating an RP, running an RP, participating, character creation etc. 

If there's anything you specifically need help with, feel free to [@me] and I'll be happy to do my best to assist. Otherwise welcome to the Guild and I hope you enjoy your time here!
