Welcome to Steem, Karla! It's fantastic that you've joined our community to share your artistic talents with everyone. I love the vibrancy of your pieces!
Kudos to your philosophy on telling your loved ones that you love them because we never know when the opportunity to do so will be gone.
Have a wonderful day and please don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have.
We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - your thoughts regarding the post's content). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.
Another tip that we share with everyone is to cite if images, videos, etc. used in their posts are of their own creation. This practice has two benefits:
It gives you an opportunity to have it clearly labeled that the works portrayed are your original and rightful property.
It helps to protect against copyright infringement when using material that is not of your original creation. Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source. Here's a link that will provide you with more information.
Have you heard of #PYPT? Each Thursday (at 11 A.M. & 7 P.M. EST) @ Shadowspub hosts the Pimp Your Post Thursday show in The Ramble discord where everyone can share their favorite posts. Sharing isn't limited to only your own posts, many come to pimp out other authors' content that they feel deserves more attention. It's terrific fun and a fantastic way to meet other blockchain creators.
We wanted to let you know, we have given you a 25% upvote, are now following you, and are introducing you to everyone we know. You can visit our post HERE.
You can also visit our discord server, The Steem Terminal, which is your one-stop location for learning about destinations on the Steem Blockchain & Discord. Here you will find people who are willing to answer the questions you may have as a new Steemian, documents to assist you, a place to learn and practice, and find out about the many opportunities to connect with other Steemians!
Welcome to the Steem Community.
Very much, thanks!!
