Good post! I was just looking at your blog and was going to add a message about including more information with your photos to get better upvotes. But you already did it with this post.
You'll find the people with the most steem power will rarely upvote a post that is nothing but photos unless they are truly GREAT photos. There isan old saying that "the devil is in the details". That is sort of true on Steemit. The more information you share, the more upvotes you end up getting.
It won't be a lot in the early stages. It takes a while to grow a group of real followers. But hang in there. You'll make it.
This is my Sotall Directory Account, I have a personal account (fernowl13) also. The Sotall Directory is an off-site directory of links to all the Steemit post that give good solid, HOW TO type information on any subject relating to homesteading, gardening, survival, foraging and such. It's a way to keep all the great information categorized so people can find it long after the pay out day of the post.
I have a feeling you will be writing some future posts that will fit perfectly into Sotall.
Keep up the great work. You will get there!
