Three reminders especially for new muggles

1) Under Come Aboard/Community Resources there is a lot of advice for solving metas and there is a page with all the past WSJ contests and solutions which are invaluable in understanding the methodology of the creators

2) IN both the FAQ- Community and the Acapulco Lounge, there are suggestions regarding how to go about asking for hints/nudges

3) Finally under Come Aboard there is a page for you to Introduce Yourself
