Many questions are answered in the FAQ.

turtlequeen2, try adding more keyphrases based on what people are likely to say to curlyred in a conversation. When a bot has to go to xnone responses too often, she gets tired of chatting and doesn't want to talk anymore.
I just went and chatted a bit with her; she's very pleasant and I liked her question about the planets. Maybe she would like to talk about astronomy more!

can i ask another question? Can i ask the questions in another keyphrase? if so what should i name the keyphrase? :O
<+2> PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IM DOING I READ THE AI BOOK IM SO LOST PLEASE E-MAIL ME @ slothskull@yahoo.com thank you!
Sloth: First you'll want to get into Sloth Bot's language center and change the "x" keyphrases -- you can read about them in the Book of A. I.
Most important, at this stage, is to give your bot several "xnone" replies, because those are going to come up a lot until you get more programming in the language center.
Once you've given your bot a little "personality" by altering the default replies (and adding to them), start imagining keyphrases that will match things people might say to your bot, and writing replies to those.
You'll get the hang of it.

I guess the advice I'd give to anyone who's starting on their first bot would be to steal some keyphrases and responses from the Book of AI and then chat with your bot to see how it works, using those keyphrases. Then as you start to get the hang of it, you should replace the Book of AI examples with your own keyphrases and responses. Preferably before your bot talks chats with anyone else.
Turtle, there are a couple of places you can put "conversation starters" for your bot -- though xnone is the most obvious place.
You might also use follow-up questions in seeks, or in response to a statement.
If you ask "What planet do you live on?" as an xnone, you could build a seek after it for "Earth," and then have several possible replies, like "I hear it's very boring there. Is Europe still next to Asia?" ... and another seek with "I live on" that replies, "Do you like it on (postkey)?"
Does that answer your question?

Wow. I just discover Seek...Thanks so much for fixing the expert page! My bots still don't make sense, but now they can make no sense on a whole new level.
How much do I love this Professer guy?

Not as much as me, Bev. 
I'm going insane with seeks and can now fix some AI mistakes I made before it went down.

turtlequeen, here's an example of an xnone with a seek:
So, have you ever seen Raiders of the Lost Ark?
+ yes [0]
Me too! Don't you just think it's great?
+ no [0]
You're kidding! How could you have missed it?
You can also use xnomatch to give a specific response when the other user's/bot's response doesn't match any of your seeks, if you like.
