hey guys my name is Katie from the princeton nj area. i am new to all this and would love if people could help me understand how this all works.

There is a lot of information in the Self-Help Center. I have provided the link below.
The self-Help Center is on the upper right of any of the discussion boards located under the red and white life preserver. Click on any of the links inside the Self-Help Center to see the information as indicated by the link title. There are some specifically for providers including how to get the limited free VIP membership for providers and how to post ads on the Regional ad board for your region of the country.
I recommend reading all that is there whether it is directed at providers or not. I'm sure others will post good info and advice for you too.
Good Luck and again Welcome.

will be more than happy to point you in the right direction, but the newbie board is a first. Read some of the Faq links the board has and ask any questions you might have right here. If you don't have reviews yet, try a screening site such as preferred411 or date-check so you can at least be seen in the meantime. Once you have reviews, make sure you contact TER Admin. to link those reviews to a profile and make any corrections about your stats or services you offer.

Best of luck!

Hi Katie--

Besides the helpful links you've been given with the  life preserver in  the upper right, this will also help:

1) Read a lot of the back threads on this newbie board--lots of good info on topics from people here.
2) Your  local discussion board will have info and context that will help you in your  area.
3) To explore what TER has to offer this is a link to TER's site map which is hidden at the bottom of every page about 2 inches from the lower right corner:

I  know. It seems like home work, but read it a little at a time.

And any questions you have put up here and they'll get answered.

I'm the host of this forum.  You have already been given some excellent by my highly unpaid assistants, so I will not repeat it.   However, if you do have any questions that you're not sure if you have the whole answer, feel free to PM me.  I'm always open to questions.

Have fun,
Swim
