Yay! there you are . Is steemit any good? I joined so long ago but wasn't in the right frame of mind for putting in the effort to make a new network work.

I really like it. Better than Tsu because you don't have the family tree. There are still people with lots of power who piss people off, but I try to stay out of it. I have met some really nice writing types, as well as former Tsu people
By the way, don't upvote everyone and every thing at first, because you won't have the voting power yet. Use this https://www.steemnow.com/@adogaday to see how high your voting power is (the lower it goes the less your vote counts). Until you have a bigger wallet, try to keep your voting power over 80% (or even 90%). that means only 10 upvotes a day... for now.
Edit:
It can be a bit confusing to begin with, but I think you will make more money faster, than me, so will be able to move up quicker
Edit:
The notifications here don't work for shit so you have to keep checking your replies to see if anyone cares about you!
Edit 3:
It does feel a bit unnatural not to 'upvote' or like things you like, but everybody understands the voting thing (once explained to them) and we've all been through it, so a reply to say you appreciate the post is good, and you can resteem the posts you like too, which gives people more exposure.
so I can only upvote a few things a day?
for now. At the moment at 100% your vote will only be worth 1 cent. Once it gets below 80 it is not worth much anyway. Once you build up your steem power (and you can only do that after 7 days when you can claim your rewards) your vote is worth more, so you can afford to go below 80 (but it is best not to). Once you have enough steem power (I think it is 500) you get a slider so you can vote less than 100% of your voting power which means you can vote more often. I am still short of this magic power, but hope to get there in the next month or so
It sounds complicated, but you'll get there.
I'm sure I will get the hang of it. Thanks for all the support
Not sure if you saw my little post about you: https://steemit.com/introduction/@felt.buzz/yay-my-friend-adogaday-has-come-back-to-steemit
@mariannewest runs the #freewrite challenge (basically you just churn out whatever comes into your head for 5 minutes based on a daily prompt). She suggested you might want to 'lend' us one of your pieces of art as a prompt. That would get you more exposure. She is really nice, and supportive of a lot of people.
Thanks x
