Aubrey, when you dig into the site, you will notice there is some logic to the organizational madness.
You already know about showcases, so skipping that portion, we go straight to the forum lineups. Except I suggest you add links to your p411 or TER, etc. so folks get a more complete look at your particulars.
Each area of the country (world, too) is divided into states which are usually then subdivided into individual city forums, and most if not all of the city forum lineups are virtually identical. With advertising, coed and other subforums.
Concentrate, if you will, in noticing the main ad forums, the bigger ones in which you may post one ad per week, the lesser "weekend ad" forum in which you may post only on Thursday through Sunday and you are restricted to a single weekly ad.
The rules for the major ad forums allow you to post one ad per week in up to five different cities. So, for example, you could post an ad in each of the main forums for say, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and Kansas City. Five total, but a travel nightmare, unless, of course, you are enticing Kansas City gents who might be visiting in Austin or San Antonio that time frame.
After all of that, be careful in over-posting ad because exceeding the limits will cause points to be issued which could add up to a "vacation" from posting anything.
Also pay attention to the ISO forum in each city you visit, as there may be hobbyists there seeking a person such as yourself. You may reply to those ISOs either by posting openly or by sending a PM.
Each of the main forums usually has a "sticky" thread at the top outlining the rules for posting in those forums.
Meanwhile, enjoy your stay here and -- oh, did I mention you should consider visiting with us in Austin and San Antonio!!!
Some of us have definite affinity for redheads!!!
