Hey, I'm new on this account but not new to Scratch, I make cloud projects like tools and sometimes even games (once I'm up and running as a Scratcher I can do this), I am quite up to date in the technology world and I'm a raspberry pi expert meaning if your having any issues with your raspberry pi micro computer I will help you out with it. I am also keen while using this account to get at least one of my projects featured that is why I need as many followers as possible and the support of the amazing people here on Scratch to make that aspiration come true.

If any one is bored I'm here to chat to, I'm on Scratch every day and usually will be chatting with someone so don't hesitate to join in the conversation if me and other people are talking. I'm really excited to meet some new people!

Thanks for reading my post, don't forget I make awesome cloud tools and sometimes games which I'm willing to share to the massive community of Scratch! If you want to find out more about me and the projects I make on Scratch please head here I hope you enjoy having a go with all the projects that I'll be bringing out very soon!

How do you add that thing at the end of each post?

Do you mean the emoji? If you do, all you have to do is press the emoji button above the post box and select an emoji.

Sorry, I accidentally put this in the wrong forum.
