Welcome to the platform, @coastline17
I'm on the east coast US, and I've been here, for a little more than 2 years.
I've helped many newcomers, with training and answering questions. Feel free to ask away, either here, or on Discord.
There are a ton of communities on Discord that are companions to the Steem platform!

I found you from a post by @carrieallen, who welcomes newbies on board!
