I'm an 29 year old guy.I'll always do my best to give well considered and sincere advice - give me your best shot. P.S. Don't be afraid to ask me private questions, I rarely spend a lot of time answering non-private questions.
o.o There is apparently a FORUM for me if you would like to talk about random non-advice stuff. Take off your shoes!
advice
Hey im trying to find site where i can share my poems. I found this place:http://poetry.tetto.org/
but i cant really figure out how to use it, i dont want help using it i want to find a different site that offers the same things..
I'll rate high for good answers...
thanks.

Not entirely an answer to your question, but I hope good advice on the subject...
Keep right away from poetry.com
They use your poetry for profit, and also do a hoax whereby if you enter a poem, they offer to publish it and only publish it if you order a copy. It doesn't say so, but people have found out that when they ordered a copy, their poem was on the first page, and their friend, whose poem was also on their front page had a different copy, without their poem in it at all.
Poetry.com also has a whole bunch of offshoots, so be wary or anything that looks flash-bang, or says anything about "ownings mill" or "poetry plaza" as a postal address.
I'd agree with your first answerer, get a livejournal account. Another good avenue is to enter any free competitions you can find, or even some with payed entry if you think it's good enough to win or get published. Getting published in a book is very good for your resume.
Hope you find somewhere good

EDIT:
just to back up my answer in the face of an avid poetry.com mer,

http://www.author-me.com/poetryscams.htm
That's a good one... lots of people there.

Noble House is another name they use.
Type "poetry" and "scam" in to a good search engine, and find them for yourself.
(Rating: 5) thanks, you saved me from making a mistake i was going to sign up for poetry.com. I was almost finished signing up when your advice caught my attention.
