Introducing Me!

Firstly, welcome!  Secondly, do not be intimidated.  Your voice is just as important as anyone else's -- but the only way to make it louder is by exercising it, so yell whenever you feel like it

Don't be afraid to ask questions.  In fact, once you start asking it's actually hard to shut us up.  It certainly sounds like you've got plenty to write about, so make yourself at home!
