Is browsing BP and listening to the podcasts and posting questions the solution?

I should have been more specific in that the technology in the cameras, screens, interface, etc has reached a point where there is very little room left for innovation.

@Andrew Postell I am currently searching sites like Zillow and Realtor.com and browsing the mls.

I suggest to browse the forums, use the search bar for all your questions and interact with everyone.

Aluminum wiring is fine, though, if you use the appropriate pigtail adapters at the copper/aluminum interface.

Otherwise you're browsing on loopnet (or HAR god help you)

My wife and currently renting and have been browsing for our first SFH to live in.

You write a post and it looks good to you - but only you can see it.I don't know what metrics they use to make that determination, but you can test for it by logging out and then browsing CL from a private window.Wait a half hour as posting can take some time.  

I am having trouble navigating to a specific forum.I use the "Browse Forums" drop down menu and a list of forums show up to be selected, and if I hoover my cursor over any of those another level of subforums would be listed to it's right.That works for me as long as I am selecting the first seven forums on the drop down menu. 

Definitely browse the forums, continue reading the blogs and listening to the podcasts, and you'll learn a great deal.
