Welcome to steemit! You seem like a positive and interesting individual. :) That's cool you have your own garden and are focused on healthy cooking. That's important in life! Writing is also super important in my opinion, sounds like you're pretty well rounded!
Hope you do well on here and if you have any questions about the platform feel free to ask, I've been on here for a while so I might be able to help.. Anyways.. Cheers and good luck! :D
Hi @apolymask, Thank you for the kind words and for re-steeming my post. Very kind of you. I also appreciate the invitation to reach out with questions. Steemit is a great platform, though it takes time to learn the ins and outs. I'm sure it comes in time. You have a great blog, and I'm now happily following your feed. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and to re-steem. There are a lot of great people here who are willing to bring newbies along. That's wonderful to see.
You're welcome! Happy to help. :) It is and it can be daunting at first, I've had a number of friends and family have difficulty with it, so I understand. However. I think if you take the time to learn how to do it can be extremely rewarding! In my opinion more rewarding than any other social media, however there are a few others sprouting up that are trying to offer similar things, so maybe in time one of these other ones will be good too. I need to research them more. Though steemit does seem to be pretty solid for the time being based on my understanding of things! We're still in beta and there's a lot of amazing metrics to show it's success.
Thanks for the nice words and the follow! You may want to look into the contest I host called the IFC or Information Finding Championship, it's pretty helpful for newcomers to get started and maybe earn some extra funds and followers!
And yes, there are a lot of great people here! Through the game I made I've met quite a few amazing people, and met quite a few before that, but particularly recently the people at @newbieresteemday and @newbiegames are really awesome when it comes to helping the beginners out! So I suggest looking up those tags as well if you want some additional help and opportunities! :D
Cheers and good luck on here! :)
Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely check out those feeds. I appreciate the advice :) I love the whole concept behind Steemit and definitely think they're onto something. It will be so interesting to see how this all transpires. I will check out your contest as well. Thanks again~
You're welcome! :) And yeah, it's been a great place since I joined in my opinion.. Only encountered a few jerks compared to like millions on other social media, but.. More and more recently I'm getting deeper into this community and it's even a lot deeper than I thought it was!
Also cool to hear you'll check out the contest! :) Please let me know if you have any questions or if you need a link or anything? Umm.. I'll just give you the link for the recent updated rules post, and then if you want to play we can go from there!
