Great intro post @amyinautumn! Thanks for joining Steemit! I am @gogogadgetupvote and I found your intro post thanks to a link that @shai-hulud sent me in my Daily "Introduceyourself Post" Bounty! I have upvoted and resteemed your intro, as well as given you a follow! Be sure to check out my contest post I linked, there are several useful articles linked at the bottom for new users!
Also, would you be able to do a "verification photo"? It is basically just a pic of you holding a piece of paper with your steemit name and the date on it. You can just edit it into this post!
