Steps to take
Select your tool/media [Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc.]
Sign up; to start with use simple password [make it more difficult later, but don’t forget to do that.]
First, go to settings and set your various preferences

Third, create your profile [see Maria’s Guides on that]

Get in the habit of posting, commenting, asking questions, starting discussions, replying to Tweets and discussions, providing help to others

Set up a QuicKey/Tool to automatically open S.N. sites each day [close them if you don’t want to post]
Connect these S.N. tools together, e.g., so when you Twitter and it goes to Facebook

Rules to Follow
As with anything on the internet, the first step is to go to Settings and fill in your preferences [more or less privacy, who sees what, notifications]
Remember: Once it is on the Internet, it is there forever and it is open to [almost] anyone.
If it doesn’t pass the “Mom Test”, don’t do it.

The Summary
Social Networking is a ‘new media’ method of communication which relies on interactivity
There is an overwhelming number of options, some more general in nature and some focused upon a certain use.
If you use more than one method, find a way to connect them so you can post to one and have it show up in the other, too. One post cross-pollinates.
