      It’s different using the phone as apposed to using the computer. So I’m trying to figure this out on my phone because I’m not at home. I’m super excited to learn everything I can about medical plants to be able to help family and friends.

      Thank you so much for doing this for us Dr. Jones

            I am having trouble too.  I guess when we crack the code it will seem simple.

                    Jenny, click up in the upper right corner of the screen where it says “Howdy Jenny”. There is a drop down menu which has “Edit Profile” as one of the options. That’s where you do the picture. :0)

                    Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

                    Hi Dr. Jones! I was only introduced to you a few weeks ago by Homesteadingfamily’s videos, but the way you manage to make learning so entertaining I just had to take your class. 🙂 Looking forward to it!

                              Hi Gwen, I wouldn’t worry about the BBCodes because they’re for computer users with much more tech experience than we’ve got.? If you hover over the buttons above, they should tell you what they’re for. Underline, bold, italics, bulleted list, etc. For a simple reply, that’s more than you’ll ever use.

                                I’ve been posting for years and have no idea what a bbcode is. So, you’re in good company.

                                If you’re having specific trouble or questions, let me know and I can rope Evan our IT guy into the conversation. He’ll know what a bbcode is.

                                    So, can we use this topic as the post for figuring out how to post?  Joking, I haven’t gotten very far but am loving everything about the school and learning about herbs.

                                      I can’t seem to find a way to start a new post either.

                                      I’m excited to learn about medicinal plants.

                                      Also wondering why all my lavender plants died after growing so well last year.  This summer would have been their 3rd year after planting.   This is probably not the correct place on the forum to post this, but like I said…I can’t figure out how to start a new post…..:(

                                          To start a new thread go the the forum section you want to post in (Medicinal Plants, Medicine Making, Plant Identification, Chinese Herbalism & Acupuncture, etc…).

                                          Once you’re in that section, scroll to the bottom of the page and you’ll see Create New Topic in “Chinese Herbalism & Acupuncture”  (or whatever section you’re in). Use that box to start your new thread and it will show up in that section and folks will start

                                          Have fun! If you have any other questions holler. :0)

                                          Yes, I am Brand New as of today!  I am Very Excited about this unique Journey! I am Very Interested in so many areas of herbal medicine! Up until now, I have been doing a lot of reading and learning on my own. Just recently, I discussed with one of my sons the benefits and uses of Slippery Elm. This is one of MANY Medicinal HERBS I look forward to learning more about!
