Welcome to Scratch! Get started here!

ProgrammingPro01

Hello, and have a warm welcome to Scratch!

We're glad to have you as part of the community! We know how being new to something is like being lost in a forest at first, so I'm here to provide some tips and tricks on how to get involved with the Scratch community, and get to know everyone!

• A good way to get started in the community would be posting a topic in the New Scratchers forum. That will help you recognize some members in the community, and possibly meet new friends who will help you! Your topic doesn't have to be a long biography, you keep keep it short if that's what your comfortable with the most. For some ideas, you might want to check out this guide to Making a First Impression by ForeverArtist.

• A simple way to get familiar to the program would be just experimenting with the project editor! It's a good and quick way to discover the features quickly on your own. Who knows - You might create a fascinating project along the way! Never hurts to play around with the program for a while.

• Another good way to get involved with the community would be posting on the forums often. Helping others, posting on discussion threads, reporting glitches to the Scratch Team, all that can help you get involved!

• Don't be shy to ask anyone if you need to ask a question. All of us will be happy to help a New Scratcher in need, and will definitely do the best we can to help. If you are looking for help currently, good places to check out would be the following forums below:
- Help With Scripts: Need help with your Scratch project? Ask here!
- Requests: Looking for something? Want to offer your skills to others?
- Questions About Scratch: Post general questions about Scratch here.

• Here are some more great threads that you can look at to learn more about how the Scratch website works.

How do I change my profile image?
I have tried clicking on the change in the top left corner but I can't do anything more than hover over it. What shall I do?

It's not released yet.

Oh, and there's no Beta Version for 2.0 anymore because it's now official.
