I don’t know if I actually registered and what to do this site is so confusing - i can’t post until I log in and when I do it takes me away from any posts and what I am doing :(

Yes, you signed up with the Canadian Team, and you should have your badge now.

Colleen, I suggest that while you are getting used to the site format and many capabilities that you open a different tab for searching for answers and looking g2g conversations. This way your work is open in a tab that won't change.
