Hi @leighwilliams, welcome to Steemit. I believe your voice will be heard here on Steemit. It is still a very small community, less than 900,000 accounts when I last checked.
Anyway, I am here to support a newcomer with a little upvote. Hope you will enjoy your time here! I recently added a new post with some tips for new comers like you. Do give it a read and I hope it will benefit you.
