Thank you Merej99 some very useful information. I'm brand new here and I intend to follow a lot of your advice. I believe if all of us look after this community, it will go from strength to strength. Also, from my experience, new users tend to follow the habits of more established users so we should all work hard to set an example.
Btw, I did follow your link to get verified but the site is offline at the moment. I will try again.
Hello @richreeve and welcome to Steemit!
There is a huge potential for finding an amazing tribe. The honest to goodness piece of advice I can give is Just be authentic. Take some time to visit other people. Leave thoughtful comments.
Yeah, this post is over a year old. If you haven't done it yet, create an #IntroduceYourself post. One of the original ways we use to verify ourselves is by taking a selfie with the date and username somewhere on it. :) I'm really looking forward to seeing you grow here.
