Thank you for your detailed answer. Yes, posting to the steem blockchain has a pretty steep learning curve. On any of the related platforms, particularly if you want to get into it a bit deeper. At least now there are tons of resources and how to's everywhere.
One of my most important tools is steemworld.org/@yourusername, gives you all the stats as well as your own voting power and all.
Would be nice, to see a "introduceyourself" post. A lot of people also use that to show they are "real" ;-)
