  1. I am the kind of guy that likes to know exactly what I am doing, and what all the ramifications are before I pursue any given endeavor. I am a total newbie. No finds, nothing logged, etc. I have been reading a little bit each night for the last three weeks, trying to figure all of this out before I actually go out and start looking for or hiding caches. The topic of coins and travel bugs still has me a little confused. I understand how travel bugs work, but, having never found one or tried to log one in on the site, I am still half in the dark. I thought reading this forum would help clear up some confusion, but now I see that even logging something in can be a chore to someone who has never done it. I think the best thing any website can do to help newcomers along is to add an interactive tutorial. Put some big linkable icons on the main page that say, "Find something that looks like this? Click here!" Then, when the user clicks, he is directed to some reading, some videos, and an actual interactive tutorial that shows exactly what to do. Simple step by step instructions. "Look for this. Once you have found it, click here. Enter the code you found in this box. etc." Some might find it a bit offensive, but I would rather risk insulting someones intelligence instead of loosing a bunch of trackable items to people who might not know all the ins and outs of geocaching. Hope my reccomendations help.
