  1. If you want to start your own forum about a recent trip or vacation, first click on the “Travel Adventures” title on the main forum page.

  2. Click on the “Add New Topic” button.

  3. Enter your UserName in the appropriate box.

  4. Type “My Trip to Spain” in the subject box (or whatever you want your forum to be named).

  5. If you want to select an icon for your forum, choose one of the ones to the right of where it says “Message Icon”; if not, you don’t have to do anything because the default is already set at “None.”

  6. Type your message in the text box to the right of where it says “Body”; you can you can add “emoticons” (one of those yellow expressions faces) to your message by clicking on any one of them lined up on the right.

  7. If you wish to announce this forum, click the “Announce” check box, and then select the dates and times you wish to keep this forum flagged on the topic menu. (This just basically draws a little more attention to your forum in the menu.)
