Yes, I can give you advice:

Start from scratch. Don't reference up-arrows or Graham's number or power towers.

This will gurantee that you actually understand what you're doing, even if your numbers are smaller at first. Getting to a number comparable to g1 by yourself is a far greater accomplishment than piggy-back riding on Graham's definition and saying "gg64".

Also, I repeat the advice you've already been given elsewhere:

1. Watch part I and part II of the video series Chronolegends has given you.

2. Work interactively with the people here, and ask questions on the comments you get. If you don't undertstand something, say what your problems are. If an answer prompts another question in your mind, ask it. Don't be shy about it, because otherwise you won't learn anything.

3.A golden rule in googology is that each step relies on the previous one. Without some kind of continuous discussion, you'll never get anywhere. This is why the routine of "post new number - ask how big it is - get an answer - don't do anything with that answer and post another number - repeat" is completely pointless. Post 1000 such numbers, and all you have is a cryptic list of 1000 estimates which you can't make heads or tails of. How does this help you in any way?
