How to view posts and how to blog

Question

I read over the Bigger Pockets tutorial and have two questions:
1. How can someone see a list of all the forum threads you personally started (not just contributed to)?
2. How does one write for the overall Bigger Pockets blog?

Dawn A. - I just clicked on the post count number below your avatar, and I can tell you that you can see the threads  that you have started there.  Unfortunately, they are intermingled with threads started by others.  But just look below the post title on the threads where you participated to see who started the thread - or at least that is showing up when I look.

The link is actually http://www.biggerpockets.com/awards/1_blog_post

I did see where I can view the awards in my profile.

And thanks for the tips on blogging, I started my own blog on here and have 3 posts.  I can typically write a lot, so I'll keep on updating it.

Go to your profile page....

I believe it says started and posts or something, click on it...

You also get a new award, cuetest avatar!  :)

EDITED: WELL! You can't click on iy sorry! Get Josh back....I don't know how you find the topics you started, other than going through your discussions...

Well I did click on my # of posts and see all the posts I contributed to, as well as it saying I started 17 posts, but it doesn't tell me which of those I started and which I just contributed to.

Dawn, go here;
w.biggerpockets.com/awards/1_blog_post

expalins the awards, you're a newbie blogger!
To see your posts, click on the number of posts you have under your avatar, that will also show you how many they started.

WOW, I'm finally catching on myself....LOL

I'm trying to find information about the "awards".  How does one get listed as an "award"?  Somehow I got an "award" and I don't know how that was done.  Something about my posts?

I just found the member blogs and am going to start blogging.  Perhaps I can write a good blog post worthy of the Bigger Pockets website.

Dawn -
There isn't a function to show all posts you started in one place at the moment.  As for writing for the BiggerPockets Blog, we look to those people who are blogging on their own blog off-site and to those users who are blogging on our Member Blog platform.  When we see someone that we think would make a good addition to the team, we approach them.

Brandon Turner is the boss of the blog . . . if you have any suggestions, feel free to get in touch with him.
