    Well, to start with there is no such thing as a dumb question (just dumb answers ;)).

    If you look on the list of threads on the Mortgage Free board you will see several people have diaries, such as Missus MF (I think I've remembered that right!). Basically, a thread where you post your [STRIKE]inane ramblings[/STRIKE] inspirational thoughts to [STRIKE]bore the pants off others[/STRIKE] help others on their journey and mark progress on your own (I'm allowed to make fun of them as I'm about to start one myself :o). Seriously, they do seem to keep people involved.

    For your signature have a look at what others have written (below the line on their postings, in smaller font size). Go to the green tool bar 1/3 of the way down the page, click ion User CP (Control Panel) and pick the edit signature option on the left.

    Good luck, and I'll read your diary if you read mine :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    This one is superb and so accurate. Allows you to put in different OP's in the monthly tab at the bottom. I cant wait to start using it myself.
