Please keep in mind that this is my second tutorial and English isn't my primary language.
Remember that every beginner needs to start somewhere, even if he/she asks very simple questions which they probably can answer themselves you should help them.
Introduction
Welcome, in this thread I'll be explaining how to properly introduce yourself in a motivated way.
Most new users keep it simple which makes it hard for us to figure out how they are and how they are thinking, first impressions count for a lot.
After you have read this thread I'm sure you'll be able to create a motivated and positive introduction, let's move on!
Classification
1: How to introduce yourself
The part where it all goes about, remember your first impression counts twice.
Let's do the introduction in parts so you can follow it easily, choose the ideas you want to add to your introduction and make it one piece.
Name
The first thing you say if you meet someone is your name/username, if you want to know how the users are you possibly want to add: How are you/How are you doing etc, just be polite.
Age and birthday
You have the option to tell something about your age, add something in the direction of: My birthday is on the first of December or I was born on the second of November in 1990.
Country/State
It's nice to tell where you live, maybe people on this forum live at a place near you.
Add something similar to: I live in Amsterdam, that's the capital of the Netherlands.
Tell about your country, what can you do there? Are there activities you can do there?
Hobbies
Do you play football? Or maybe athletics? Do you like music?
Tell it and share your knowledge, there are tons of people here that are probably doing the same as you.
In my spare time I play computergames, watch TV and listen to music, what kind of hobbies do you have?
Relationship
Do you have a relationship at the moment? Or did he/she just broke up with you?
Most likely users will help you with your problems, even if it's about relationships!
Skills
What are your skills, did you visit a forum before, do you have much knowledge about computers? Or maybe your new and your here to learn new things which you didn't know yet.
Add your skills in your introduction and we'll direct you to the correct place to start off.
Layout
Make sure your introduction looks positive and organized, it makes it attractive to read.
Use colors, divide your introduction in parts/paragraphs to make it clear.
Likes/Dislikes
Write about your likes and dislikes, do you love cookies? Do you hate your job? Tell about it!
Pictures
Adding pictures would definitely make the situation clear, but do remember we're just on a forum.
Spelling/Grammar
Check your spelling and grammar twice, it's not a disaster if you make a mistake since you'll learn from them.
Start a sentence with a capital and end with a punctation, do NOT turn caps lock on.
Excited
Make the reader excited, tell them what your planning to do on this community.
Ending
Make a positive ending which doesn't ruin your introduction, start good and end good, show that you did your best.
