Hi Christa---there are several options--you can add people that you identify with in the "story" part of their homepage--or people that post regularly you can add because they are active on the site--I try to add people as they join the site--when they are new--so they feel welcome and hopefully we can become friends--to add a person, click on their profile and press the plus (+) button. Please let me know if you have more questions!🍁🍂
