Hiya Bluejay
It is not a problem. Ok, right where the cackle box is below it says Name: Bluejay1 (or your user name) then below that says Message: then below that is a blank box type thing. You click in there with your mouse and type. Once you are happy with what you have written click either enter/return or click on Cackle which is located below where it says Smilies?
If you click on Smilies? then it drops down with loads of smilie faces. If you wish to add them.
Hope this helps if I have done my thing and spoke double dutch as I do sometimes then please ask again, I look forward to talking to you in the Cackle Box soon. It is a bit like MSN messenger
