I Need “HELP”

I belong to a writers group here in Ky. Recently when at one of our meetings; I asked my teacher several questions. #1 was how did Our Echo work? I pretty well have the basics, we write whatever we feel we would like to post. But I’m afraid that’s all I know. I would like some answers if someone could help me, I would appreciate it. #1 Is how do the contests work? #2 Is there some things you as better writers, see in my writing that I need help with? #3 what are the up and down arrows for? #4 Last but not least, if our writing is our own, why would you want others printing it? Should we just be posting things we do not care to much about? I relish the idea of having my things posted, but not the idea of it being copied. Or my words printed out for someone else’s use. “Please” Can anyone help?
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
