What is this? More place to fill with inane scribbles... Did you know that "blog" is short for "web log"? I didn't, until this evening...

Oh, I always start anything written with a scribble - the ink has to start flowing somehow!

Two important links for surviving our inane universe, located in the "help" link next to your profile image: the community guidelines and the earnings FAQ links. Welcome aboard.

What more suggestion can I add really after what came from admin himself and the wisest owl I've met on here. Welcome!

Thank you. The bigger screen helps, it's impossible to work this site on a smaller screen.

Why yes, @pgn , I was aware of that. And yes, again, this is a place for the ultra serious as well as the inane scribbling of idiots! (I am very glad I have run into very few of that last group of people here, unlike on two other sites I used to call home!) OH! Is inane scribbling something YOU do, too?! Well, I never imagined I would find another person quite like myself here, sir! I have found that myLot is quite willing to pay good coin for scribbling just as much as for serious truths, though... Quite interesting, I would say! What say you?

@pgntwo LOL! Yes, that is true, too! Although, I have seen some very creative spelling going on to slip things past the filters! LOL!

@DaddyEvil I still think it can be a bit overzealous: there is a town called Sc-unthorpe (without the hyphen!) in the UK, even my spell-checker knows of it, but I get nagged at by the myLot Vulgarity Nanny.

Actually, I had no idea what "blog" meant. I've always wondered why others would want to read someone's "blog."

Welcome to MyLot! What is it? Well, you can see it as a huge block of ever-changing '0's and '1's which magically add up to a number after a '$' sign next to your username ... IF you do something to keep those bits a-changing by interacting with people, OR you can think of it as a lively place to meet people with whom you can indulge in discussion on many topics, some of which may be life-changing and some of which may be inane. One thing which it doesn't much resemble is a blog, which is more like setting up a soap-box in a park and shouting whatever you have to say to whoever will listen without expecting much in the way of answer. It's meant to be more like sitting in a cosy pub, a social club or even at home among friends, jawing late into the night about all sorts of things! Your discussion has already been honoured by our Admin, GoAskAlice, who has left you directions to the most essential things to read (that should take you less than five minutes and is time well-spent). The hardest bit is finding your way around here and is full of questions. Many of the most common ones have been asked (and answered) in the following discussion, so it may well be worth your while looking through it:
I've been a member here since October 2006 and I and several others have tried to help newcomers to understand the site and to get the best out of it. I've...

Now that was a most useful comment, and almost a thesis in itself. AskAlex/AskAlice has been helpful too. Off to better understand MyLot...

Well, that makes sense. I wondered where that word came from.

Still not sure its derivation makes sense, it is one of those words that is what it is, like tissue or screen.
