I'm new to NicaLiving Checklist

Submitted by fyl on 16 March, 2006 - 10:50.

All so many people come here asking very generic questions. Some get offended with generic answers or suggestions that they do their homework. So, here is a checklist to help you decide what to do before you ask a question.

  1. Introduce yourself. This is best done with a personal blog entry that tells us

    • Where you live
    • Why you are interested in Nicaragua
    • How old you are
    • How much Spanish you know
    • Places you have lived (as in countries)
    • How much time you have spent in Nicragua, where and when
    • If you interests are business-related, talk about your business expertise.
  2. Search and read the books, forums and blogs on NicaLiving to get yourself oriented and find relevant answers.

  3. Possibly post a personal blog entry about what you have learned.

  4. Ask specific questions in the forums.

Armed with that information, you are likely to get some very useful information (and less smart-ass replies). For those that feel their privacy will be violated, remember that all you have to do is sign up for a free email account (yahoo, for example), tell us your name is John or Jane Doe, ... Generally, we don't care you you really are but without an idea of what you are like and what you are interested in, don't expect good answers.

"fyl's" - #1

Reading "fyl's" #1 suggestion that new members post a blog relating pertinent information; I also would suggest that the same information be posted in the new members "account information".

As new blogs and forum topics are posted on "NL"; the older blogs tend to disappear from sight and mind.

The member's profile is always available with a click or two through clicking on the member's name when a post is submitted or typing the members name in the "search box" and then click "user".
