Regarding your tag USA - this currently leads to a short list not connected to a project. If you are interested in connecting with the United States project then you need to add a tag for UNITED_STATES
These will enable you to view all the different states and research links as well asadding categories to the profiles in your branch of the tree.
Catherine, I was looking at your tags, and I'd like to suggest that you add in a few surnames individually so that you have one tag for each surname and location. By doing that, you can then click on those tags, and you'll be taken to a page where you'll see other genealogists who are also following those surnames and locations.
I really encourage you to explore the connections it helps you make. :-)
Welcome to WikiTree! The initial email from us has helpful links that will get you started on WikiTree, which is not like any genealogy site youve ever used.
WikiTree is different because our goal is to have one profile per person, and that means we all work together as a BIG collaborative team!
When you confirm your email address, youll have an opportunity to volunteer and tell us about your genealogical interests.
Once you volunteer, one of our Greeters will be happy to confirm your membership, and youll be on your way!
Welcome to the family! Were really glad youre here.

P.S. If links do not work in an email from WikiTree, try them from the comment section of your profile page.
Now that you have had a little time to try WikiTree, there are a few more features you may find useful.
Ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards, including some tips on writing biographies.
If you need to describe an event, an heirloom or a location relevant to your research, you may like to learn about Free Space Profiles.
Lastly, sometimes you'll run into unresponsive profile managers. We have a process for resolving those unfortunate situations.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask via my profile page.
