<p>It's odd that your follow-up did not appear, as using [reply] is indeed the proper way to post one.</p>
<p>[Perl Monks Discussion] is indeed the place to discuss anything related to the site itself.</p>
<p>[The Monastery Gates] are special, as they can contain nodes from any of a number or sections of the site - it is no section of its own, rather posts from [Seekers of Perl Wisdom], [Perl Monks Discussion], [Meditations], and others, may be placed there by any level 6 or higher user (which is called "frontpaging" a node).</p>
<p>It is true that the site is a bit hard to get into; I was somewhat lost at first when I signed up.</p>
<p>For example, note that the search box at the top only searches on topics (you can also enter a node ID there to be taken directly to the node in question); what people usually want when they want to search is the [Super Search] which searches inside posts as well (not to mention it has all kinds of whiz bang).</p>
<p>Although it is probably possible to help newcomers get a gentler introduction to the site, the mere amount of features inevitably means you're bound to take a while until you have familiarized yourself with everything it has to offer. It's much more than it appears to be at first sight.</p>
<p>On that note, welcome! Have fun exploring the monastery's catacombs. May your stay be enjoyable and educative. <tt>:-)</tt></p>
