This forum is a fantastic resource and has a HUGE amount of hints and tips. The best way is to just set aside some time and search through. You can enter terms into the search bar or just go through the posts but BEWARE!!! When I did this over a year ago I was lost for days lol. There's so much information, you will find yourself going off on tangents and finding out about completely other stuff! M & P is heaps of fun and totally addictive! Some of the best info for beginners can also be found on Soap Queen's Blog and You Tube Channel
