A little help here pls.. I'm just a newbie. Since January, my friends list is still empty

So as my messages and everything else. I also don't think I am able to initially post anything. How do we make friends around here? How to shoot a pm? Could anyone be an angel and help me how to work around here pls?

thanks in advance!
Had to make some editing..
Yes! it worked! Kahibaw nko mo post. Yeppiee! How would I know if someone replied to this thread? Last time I joined in some conversation, but I am not sure if anyone replied to my questions then. How do we get notified? Any assitance would be greatly appreciated.
