I do not yet understand how this all works... I am a new PDX provider and am curious where I am able to post myself? May I do so here? Anywhere else that you would recommend??? I appreciate any input

You will find the answer to your question and alot more questions you may have.

First, you are most welcome to participate in the discussions on this board.  However, I expect you are really asking, "where can I post my ad?"

TER does not have a Portland board.  Still you have a couple of options!

There is always the "Other Cities" board.

Another possibility is the Seattle regional board.  I visited Seattle a couple of years ago, and remember that the posts on the board seemed to be more Pacific NW, rather than Seattle specific.  Today I receivied verification from TheMealTicket, the mod of the Seattle board, that PDX ads are welcome.

Hope this helps, and best wishes for you,
