I just had my first introductory post and have been overwhelmed by the response. The beauty of this community is that they welcome the newcomers with open arms. I didn't find myself very exciting till today when i read a lot of people replying that they found me very interesting and different and loved my hobbies and pictures. This kind of behavior from the steemit community is itself good enough to help steem grow. Here is the link of the post (just in case you feel interested)
