1.) is there any place where I can go here and talk to other writers?
-if there isn’t, why haven’t they made that yet?
2.) when I try to bold a single sentence, the bold continues for the rest of the paragraph, is there a special thing I have to do to end that?
3.) if another blogger nominates you for an award, are they real awards or just promotion type of thing?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

1.) I already answered you about where you can find other writers in my reply to you here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/opinions-i-need-them-1?replies=5#post-1546675

You can find your previous forum posts by clicking on your username at the top right corner of any forum page where it says “Welcome, yourusername”. Click on that and it will bring you to your forum profile. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/kandymars

2.) are you using the WordPress.com Visual or Text Post Editor?

3.) they’re real to the people who make them. That would be a good question to suggest over on The Daily Post.

3) – Depends – there are a lot of pyramid scheme awards – I nominate you for an award, you then nominate 5 more blogs for the award and do some sort of link somewhere – at the end of the month there are 930,000,000,000,000,000,000 awards & links – – so be cautions – TimeThief did a nice article some time back on awards – http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/ – sorry don’t know the link

1. There are many sites for writer’s where you can network, improve your writing skills and promote your writing. You will find several here Promoting Your Writing or Poetry Blog also note there are additional sites linked to in the comments.

2. Social networking is strictly give – give – give to get. You need to focus on three things and they are:
- creating and archive of unique high quality content that cannot be found elsewhere on the internet and encouraging others to comment on it;
- commenting – commenting – commenting on blogs with similar content;
- NOTE 1: Spending your posting time here to technical support forums is not a productive choice.
  
  NOTE 2: Avoid wasting your time and creating a bad impression of yourself online by posting any SMARM begging for attention, hits and/or comments anywhere online. This is an example of what to smarm from your other thread:
  
  I love discussions even though I’m too scared to talk in school discussions… But through here I can be my real writer/creative thinker self :D help me out by commenting, writing notes, hitting me up on twitter, tagging me on your posts or e mailing basically anything! :) thanks and have an awesome day my darlings :)
  
  3. Simply stated reciprocal links are based on an agreement by two sites (two way) to link to each other. Reciprocal linking is often used by small sites as a way to increase Web site traffic and link popularity. However, if you plan to enter such arrangements then it’s important to understand the implications and the realities.
  
  Awards are schemes by which we can express appreciation for other bloggers that are aimed at achieving (1) increasing traffic (2) getting backlinks.
  
  There are no awards generated by WordPress.com. To comprehend what memes are about you can read > Memes, Friends and Backlinks
  
  Awards are primarily blogger generated memes that beginner bloggers are attracted to. Experienced bloggers do not take theme seriously and ususally do not accept awards and participate in memes. Blog hops are also memees aimed at getting traffic and backlinks and experiencec bloggers also avoid becoming involoved in them.

P.S. I apologize for the typos and grammar errors above. I’m visually challenged and having a bad vision day.

justjennifer mentioned a Staff blog called The Daily Post above and I have observed that is a blog where beginner bloggers freely beg for hits, blog evaluations, comments, etc. in the posts titled Community Pool on Sundays. If that’s your thing then you know where to go to do it.

Another place to find other writers is on their blogs. If you leave a quality comment on a post, you’ll often get a discussion. (Emphasis is on the word “quality.”)

In new here. I don’t know anything on this website believe it or not. I didn’t know this was an open forum JUST for technical issues. Thank you for your help, sorry for being new, way to make me sound stupid. But nevertheless, thank your for your opinion.
In gratitude,

~ Kandy Mars

P.s. I hope you find this to be a quality comment. (emphasis on quality)
