do you mean to make a thread? you can go to a certain category, for example K-music. Then you have 'post thread'. Click there, choose a title for your thread and write the content. At the bottom of the page you have 'post thread'. And done, your thread is ready. Hopefully I was specific enough. If you have any more questions feel free to ask
