I've been lurking around for a couple of months now and I finally decided to join the crowd. Y'all seem like a great group!
Good luck with everything & I hope you have fun here- I like this place a lot~ You're probably way past your first 10 days if you've been lurking that long then- do you know about TurkAlert, the Mturk-guide & Naturegirl/Amy's resources on transcription then? If you don't, I highly recommend these resources and more...
Welcome, mmmarks! This is a great place to learn how to really well on MTurk, so I think you'll enjoy it. And Daiko, thanks for the kind words and for the helpful mention of other resources!
