Thank you! Doubly thank you for the link, I have been making more of a concentrated effort to learn and understand these things recently.
The truth is my husband is well-versed in all of it, so I've been able to be a cheerleader for steemit, talking to people about the wide variety of areas of interest and how you can make 'money' from your creative effort as well as make awesome connections and friends, then have him jump in to explain the more technical aspects.
But recently I've stumbled into a couple situations when he wasn't there to do that for me. So initially I was going to have him teach me, but then I decided that I would learn as much as I could on my own first. Basically because he's a really busy guy right now and I'd rather avoid using up our quality time on things I can do for myself :)
I love that. Many people look for shortcuts but often the best path is the long, tedious one. We learn along the way through our own personal experience in ways no teacher or mentor could translate to us. I'm glad to hear another person diving into the details and understanding just how awesome all this stuff is.
Thank you for saying that, it's very encouraging and having it in mind will help me to not push it to the backburner. I couldn't agree more about the long road often being the best one.
You have always been a tremendous asset to this site, I'm really glad you decided to take the next step and become a witness!
Thanks for your support. :)
