I have been on Deviant Art now for a while, but can someone please help me understand it a bit more.
All i seen to do is upload work to my gallery, reply to comments etc.
Don't know how to start collecting other people work, favourite, friends etc.
Llama Badges, Deviant points...I don't get it...can someone point me in the right direction to learn more about what I can do here pls.
Are there any links which explains stuff and example of how to customise your profile, I would like mine to be more exciting....HELP!!!!

I have got my gallery up to date...now what do I do??? Do I need friends ?? How do I watch people??

I am new to deviant art so please be patient with me I have no clue what I'm doing!!! Any advice???!!!
