Initially, I wasn't too crazy about Steemit because it seemed like nobody cared about content but I am really loving this blockchain now. I am so interested in the development of this blockchain and really like seeing different dapps and ideas being implemented where we have this awesome ecosystem running smoothly on one platform (STEEM). I am dying to get involved in it as well. I want to contribute as well but I am not sure what to do yet. I feel like I have a place on this blockchain to do something significant.
I was similar to @kaylinart in that I was constantly refreshing the page to see if it would start working again lol.
