Things I've Learned...

Ways to help you start...
So I have been a user of MFP for a long time, just did a lot of off-and-on. Hopefully this time it is more on than off. But I have learned a few things over the years and think that there are a few tips to help people out. PLEASE NOTE: Just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.
