Hi jewels! Thank you! Glad to meet you. I paged through your blog earlier today and will leave a message for you on your profile.
I think your suggestion is right on. As I new member, I would find it encouraging:
Introduce yourself and ask us a question about TFP! A lot of us love to help.

Of course, being new and giving opinions out of hand can get a person flamed. Maybe that's why newbies are trepidatious about adding more? Maybe in the newbie forum, set a guideline for milder or no flaming to give them a chance to feel more comfortable?
