Quick Tip:
A semicolon is just like a period, except you don't capitalize the next word.

Longer Explanation:

• One way to connect two INDEPENDENT clauses is with a semicolon (S+V ; S+V).  
  My brother just got a new job; he's going to be a skydiving instructor.
• Don't use FANBOYS after a semicolon.
  Wrong: Skydiving looks fun; but it's also very dangerous.
• It is okay to use another connecting word and then a comma, like these:
  • ; however,
  • ; therefore,
  • ; consequently,
  • ; in fact,
