I joined up on Wednesday. I am beginning to better understand how myLot works. I have just discovered mylot.com as one of my interests. I do not remember if I added mylot.com as one of my interest or if it was automatically added for me but I am glad for it. It seems like a great place to ask general questions about myLot. This is what I have been looking for -- a place to ask general questions about myLot.
How do I search the myLot site to find a topic, interest or discussion? I see a search for the web but what about just the myLot site?
When I post a response to someone else's discussion, I have noticed that I have a tag box under my response. Is it ok to give tags to our responses?
I would like to start a discussion about my experiences on ebay and craigslist? Where would be the best place to start this discussion?
I am liking myLot. I find it still a bit confusion but I am learning. The more that I post, the more I like the site.

Hey there,
If you have myLot as an interest, maybe you forgot but it is not automatically added so you might have forgotten and added it.
With regards to the tags, it is always advisable to do so relevant to the discussion because it is the only way it will show up in searches. There are many who say their discussions were deleted for duplicate but it is not so because they searched the myLot search bar and did not see one come up, reason why at times it does not is because if there are no relevant or any tags for that matter how can the search find it.
As far as starting discussions, you can pretty much anywhere, but always best if you do so under it's appropriate interests so that anyone who has opted for that interest can surely see it. You can search the interests in your edit interest tab up above your page and or here:

Best of luck and continue having fun and you will continue liking myLot because if you make it chore and or set targets then you suddenly can/will loose interest.

Just wanted to come back and say thanks for my BR. Please know an important step with myLot is that if you do not comment to any of your responses you are not earning on myLot. You may know that but thought I remind because I did not see any comments from you and do not want you to be disappointed.
Always remember that you earn for what you type and I earn for what I type.
Best of luck and hope you succeed in myLot.

Thats exactly what mylot is about dear... commenting, discussing and participating. Also, please note that the BR is supposed to end the discussion started by the Starter and it should be decided in about two weeks not as fast as you went...
Chill dear, there is much more to know... You have the links already and also scroll on and have a view at some great discussions to find out all that it takes.

Welcome to mylot. I would like to start by saying that if you read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)you will find all the information you need to get started on here. But since that is the most common answer, I will do one better and give you some advice. First off you might want to enter in some of you interests. These can be found under the search bar in mylot. Or you can go into your profile to add interests. Secondly, you asked about the tag box. This box is your friend, you should enter information (pertaining to the discussion only) in this box. It makes it easier to find the discussion and easier to find means, you will get some responses. I also have to suggest that you take your time coming up with discussions. One liners are frowned upon. People here want discussions that make them think, that make the stop and WANT to respond. If you don't put effort into your work, people won't put in the effort of a response. You also asked where you can start a discussion about your experiences with Ebay and Craigslist. There are many different places that you could post such a discussion, one of which is online earning, money, or internet. I believe there is even an interest for Ebay if I am not mistaken, you just have to look around. I hope that you enjoy mylot and if you have any other questions feel free to ask away. Good luck.

Hi.
Welcome on board dear.
Well to search things here use "web, discussions, tasks, blogs, photos, messages" above the search box. Regarding tags, yes it is promoted by mylot itself to tags the discussions that you take part it. Can't help you with ebay and craigslist thing...look around and you will find related interest, if not, you can always create one of your own.
Have fun.
