I am trying to figure out how to join the christian-trail. I used the hashtag because i saw it being used, but can't figure out the Steemian thing. Is it asking fro my Steemit password? When I try to register it is asking for one. Any help would be most appreciated.
Sorry for the delay on this.
Yes, Streemian needs you active key in order to function. You would go to your wallet and click on permissions, then click on the show private key, second one down "active"
This post explains a little more although the look of Streemian has changed a bit the info is still valid:

Is it part of Steemit? I was wary about using my private password.
Yes and no, it was created and maintained by one of the developers of steemit but it is just like any of the services that help you sign transactions on the blockchain.
You are not giving out your key you are using it, it never leaves your browser.
This is true for steemit.com as well as the many apps that are being released on the steem blockchain.
When you create an account on one of these services it should be a different password than any of your keys... It's just a tool that allows you to follow the votes of another account.
Thanks so much. That helps a lot
