Hello @michellecarter welcome!!
I'm @andyluy and I've been here for almost 2 months, and I can tell you that steemit is the most amazing thing I've ever seen at the internet so far. I'm happy seeing it grows every day!
I had some hard time on the firsts week, so I spent some time searching information to improve my experience with it, latter I've decided to make posts about those and others helpful information in order to help the new ones to have a shortcut to get deeper knowledge of steemit and its potencial.
here is some of my posts, I hope It mitght be helpful to you:

I intend to keep posting useful info that I manage to gather, and in a near future some give away. Feel invited to follow me and if you have any question about steemit you can ask me in any of my last posts, I'll try my best to help.
Hi @andyluy, thanks for sharing this information. There is a lot to take in when you first start, I will keep checking out information being shared with me and learning more about the system!
It's great to hear you're enjoying Steemit so much! I hope to say the same in 2 months time!
thats true, being on steemit is a everyday learning, but as far as I can know it is an amazing place and community to be part of, I'm quite sure you'll be thinking like that in about 2 months too ^^/
Thanks! I hope so, it does take time to meet people and make friends. I think the concept is amazing and look forward getting to know more people and making a difference.
I strongly belive that you will see that the more we manage to spend time understanding the steemit community the more amazing it looks like.
make new friends post about what you love and you'll see that soon steemit will being used world wide as facebook is now ^^/
Thanks for your reply and encouragement and sorry for taking so long to see this, but I'm still working out it all works! I've just realised that checking replies by the date is the easiest way to see new replies, which is pretty obvious when you know it!
I've been reading about bots and have felt a little discouraged that bots are being used, but maybe I'm not fully understanding them. To me to create positive change then people need to interact with each other and having bots up vote posts that aren't being read seems to defeat this objective?
Thanks for the information on randowhale, just checked that out, and I'm still working through the list and seeing other information too!
Thanks again for your encouragement. I have been looking for an alternative to Facebook so I know this is a long term project.
