SoothSayer,
Heh, heh, heh, the delayed welcome is not a function of how friendly you are, unless you are extremely and overtly rude and unfriendly from the very start. What gets a lack of welcome most of the time is when a new-to-the-forums member posts such an interesting question that everyone just dives in on it. Looks like you did. I'd take that as a compliment. BTW, welcome to the IWD forum.
Congrats on completing IWD!
Make sure you download and install TotLM *AFTER* you have HoW installed over IWD. TotLM is the final and complete patch for IWD/HoW (in North America).
You have three standard choices.
1.) Rolling a new party and take them through IWD/HoW/TotLM;
2.) Start a new HoW game and export IWD characters into the new HoW party;
3.) Go back to a IWD save late in the IWD game (before meeting RBP) and enter HoW with that party.
(There are other options and tweaks, like the one galdur mentioned, that could be considered semi-cheating; but that has never stopped me.)
The advantage of Option 1 is getting a whole new tailor-made party, now that you have learned a thing or two in IWD.
The advantage of Option 3 over Option 2 is that you get to keep all your gold and goodies, and get to do the IWD final battle with the same party AGAIN, after completing HoW (and TotLM, if desired).
I would do Option 3 if you are happy with your current party; Option 1 if you are not.

What's a party,
without a song?
Bards ROCK!
Party On!!
