Oh yeah, let's all connect there too on publish0x. Amazing platform for newbies who were not able to raise their reputation here on Steemit. You'll also have the chance to get acknowledged there.
My post also been in the popular page and it is a nice feeling to also get acknowledged.
Yeah and you earned 2$ of HYDRO which is pretty awesome. I think there is so much opportunity to earn here even as a newbie that just isn't possible on Steemit in its current form.
