Great to see people joining up. Here’s a few things about how you can use this site easily to stay in contact with people around the country, and in your own region.

Sign up.

Obviously, this is part of it. You can see everything on this blog, and all the discussions in the forums, but you can’t contribute unless you sign up. It’s easy to do though. Head to the forums to register.

Contribute.

Get posting. For starters you might like to introduce yourself. If you can think of an alternative name (we’re still open to suggestions at the moment), let your voice be heard. Another helpful thing along these lines is to give yourself a bit of a meaningful profile. Go to your User Control Panel in the forums and upload an avatar (a little picture that represents you on the forums), give some info about where you’re from, interests, etc. All this stuff helps distinguish you a little from everyone else, so when you get to a tournament you might just be able to find people. Here’s my info, as an example.

Subscribe.

Sign up to RSS or Email updates for news postings, and subscribe to any forums or forum topics that you like by clicking the appropriate link down the bottom of a forum or thread (you’ll receive an email notifying you of any new posts).

Write.

If you’ve got some thoughts, musings, an article, or news you would like to post here (something that doesn’t really fit in the forums), then sign up for a role as an author.

Share.

Let people know about this thing. It’s not much use if there’s only 4 people using it, and we all know each other. Spread the word, invite Christians you know to come over and take part, or those who are interested.
