How to use HomeTalk - take a visual tour!

I know, I know... you're already here and posting and sharing and learning! Very cool! However being that HomeTalk just revamped to make their site even better, perhaps a little visual tour will help you get around even better.
So here's my tutorial. The pictures will show the main points however you can visit the full tutorial over at my blog Funky Junk Interiors at:

First things first... sign up!
You can sign in via your Facebook page or email. Heads up: if you go via email and you aren't from the USA, you may run into a zip code glitch... if so, just sign up as an American state for now or through FB until that's sorted out.
Boom! Now you're in. Click ASK or POST and you'll see a BROWSE button pop up. Click it to add your photos.
Just fill in the blanks (title, body of post, photo caption) and you're done! If your project is from a blog, please enter the direct project url into the text somewhere so we can visit you!
The profile page is the coolest. Keep up with yourself and those you follow by clicking on the captions all over. It keeps track of everything! You can follow my profile at: http://www.hometalk.com/member/x2g1p4tqyh
This box is cool. You can easily share a project you love, like it, or save it to your very own clipboard for later reference! These settings show up in your profile too for others to enjoy.
And you'll see me around too! I'm one of HomeTalk's ambassadors so I'll be there to answer questions, share your awesome projects, hosting fun events and just hang out.
HomeTalk is for sharing, learning and growing. I hope to see you around soon! :) The full tour is on my blog at: http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2012/07/be-on-hometalk-place-to-share-learn-and.html

      Hi Miriam, I am currently in contact with a Lea in Hometalk Support about a problem with not having a ¨Post or Ask ¨ button anymore. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to get those back. I currently have no way to create a new post. I had sent a screen shot of my header to her to show the empty space where it should go. :)
