Welcome, New Users, to Daily Kos, from your host Angie in WA State. This Diary is intended to help you orient yourself to the site and ask questions about how to use it.
Below the orange fleur-de-kos you will find links intended to get you participating more effectively. Also in this edition What can Daily Kos offer you, New User?
After that you can ask me any questions about the site you want. What I don't know, someone else who drops in likely will. Or we can ask the HelpDesk. A link to the HelpDesk is at top right of every page on Daily Kos, just to the right of the Login/Logout link, labeled "Help".
AND-- if you're new and wondering what is and isn't OK around here, read Kos' Community Guidelines. That'll keep you out of trouble!
