What ive done so far on steemit
ive been posting regularly for the past 2 years, especially my original photography.
been promoting steemit to friends and giving out leaflets promoting steemit.
set up 2 steemit related websites so far, http://howtosteemit.com/ a website with simple instructions on how to use steemit
https://steemfriends.com/ a social media site for steemians.
Have given out steem and SBD to new users and steemians not getting recognition for good work.
Have posted photography tutorials, beginners tutorials on how to use steem and sbd, how to spend steem and sbd,
how to mine steem for beginners (when mining was possible)
how to crypto mining tutorials.
one of my mining posts has even had over 44,000 views!! pity it only received $3.32 in votes.

Ive submitted several pages on steemcentrewiki https://www.steem.center
Ive been running a witness server for over a year now. ok theres been some glitches but for most of the time my server has been running smoothly and not missing blocks. Ive only missed 18 blocks in total for the past year, most of those were missed in the first few months.
Recently started sponsoring a weekly poker freeroll for the steem poker league community (@spl)
A great, friendly community. unlike other mainstream poker pay sites, plus most games are free to join and give SBD prizes. I believe this site will bring new users to steemit

I will be honest, i could be doing more for steemit and have more ideas and projects in the pipeline. however some of you know ive been battling with illness. inflammatory rhuematoid arthritis and spondylosis of the spine and visual migraines. this has been crippling me on and off for the past 2 years. this last winter has been the worst ever for me.
On top of that my dear mother was diagnosed with colon and lung cancer last year and had to have 2 life saving operations within 3 months of each other. 1 to remove 1/3 of her colon and 1 to remove 1/4 of her lung. thankfully they believe the ops got all the cancer and are now giving her chemo as a precaution.
currently she is doing extremely well considering. We are all hopefull.
So i hope you can see, even tho ive been struggling with pain, disability and family concerns ive still kept my witness server running and continued to contribute to steemit regularly.
ive been here nearly 2 years now and love the community and intend to do more to help steemit users.
