Day 9 Assignment 31DBBB Join a Forum and Start Participating
Today I joined the OpenForum forum from American Express. Since I love technology I joined the technology forum, but didn’t really find a section truly dedicated to social smedia so I believe I will start some conversation around that topic. Anyway, while I was there I noticed one of the members was experiencing some trouble with setting up their site. I recommended that they install Wordpress and consider using a theme from Studiopress that will focus on their subject of interest, cars and computers. The forum idea is awesome because I was really able to see how many people still have questions about things I can help them with.
