Well the key is advertisement. Host comment swaps or make journals advertising the story. You could also put a link to your story in your signature. If you're not sure how to host a comment swap you can look at other people's journals who have done comment swaps or just ask around. To put a link on your signature (which can be found in the section on your 'My Mibba' where the message board is) you go to your story section. Next to your story it should say Link Codes. Just click the BB code one and it will automatically copy. Then just paste it into your signature. As for navigating, it really just takes time to get used to. It's confusing at first but over time you learn the way of Mibba.
