Hi SmartNewbie,
Your welcome!! When people give you rep., gives you somekind of points, earn enough and you will soon have some Hearts. There is a post about Rep somewhere on the site written my ILMk explains it all. If you make new posts you can earn points for gifts like a SC Magnet. Have been a member since May and still can't figure stuff out either, but sure is fun to read all the posts! Have a Great Evening, Kitty
