Welcome! I normally don't look at welcome threads, but I'm glad I looked at this one! You'll be a valuable member of the community and I'm excited to hear your "songs". 
Two suggestions:
There is a sticky thread for introductions, just so the the site doesn't get too hairy with thousands of old intro threads. I'd recommend just copy-pasting this exact post there: http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/7043/
on-thread/ You could also PM a mod to delete this thread, but it's really not a big deal.
I would also maybe recommend using your real location (or at least area) in your profile. It's useful if you ever buy or sell things on the trading post as well as for people that may be in your area that would want to meet up to hang/play shows/whatever. Again, not a super big deal. 
Welcome to cm.org!
PS: I wouldn't be too worried about not searching before posting, the sites search engine is pretty horrible. Sometimes I google "MY QUESTION chipmusic.org" and that seems to work better.
