I responded to your PM. What I essentially said was to check out this post. That said, I would recommend checking out the badges link in the upper right hand corner and discover some of the most prized content on the site. See people that you find interesting there and follow them. It's a good way to start imo. Also, follow a hand full of tags to begin with. As your leader, I request that you send your monthly dues to a po box that I'll be PMing you.
woaah! this is pretty neat. I could get used to this. Is there much of a painting/fine art scene here? At this point, I would rather be ripped off by you than a lot of the other institutions ripping me off on a monthly basis:D thanks for the help, i like the badge concept
There's Hubski at the Museum, but it's been a bit quiet lately. Elizabeth has a Weekly Photo Challenge that is the bomb diggity.
Feel free to start your own thing :) I did start an art-related discussion a month ago (http://hubski.com/pub?id=123052) but never made it into an ongoing thing. Give me a shout out if you do start something (by surrounding the usernames with @), sounds like fun.
