Hey,

First of all, welcome to Hubski daryl. I say "welcome", even though it appears you joined over 400 days ago. Glad you've returned.

When in your 'feed' you will find posts from people or tags that you "follow". Right now it appears you are only following the "hubski" account and therefore your feed is probably pretty strange looking. My advice would be to check out the global posts which you can find to the left of the "submit a post" button. Find a post that interests you and follow the person that posted it. Or, click on the "tags" link and follow some tags that interest you. Immediately, your feed will change.

Also, when in your feed you will see a link to "tutorial" on the bottom of the page. Click it and take a quick tour of the basics on the site.

For some of the most appreciated Hubski content, check out the "badges" link. If you have any questions that aren't answered by the FAQ or About pages, feel free to PM me.

Enjoy the site!

Oh, as for the "what makes the site special?" the answer is the people that use it. Check out the "community" page to link to some regular users of the site.
