Hello! Welcome to SteemIt. I linked, there, "a simple guide on how to get started", but I can see that you are already ahead of the curve.
As a member of #NewsTeem, I can tell you that we are always looking for quality writers, to help us cover issues that are important to everyone on the Steem BlockChain. We think you have what it takes to write with us, and I can tell you that not only would you be providing a service to the community, you'd have an excellent learning opportunity, and jump start for your blog on Steemit.
Feel free to check out the latest edition of "The @NewsTeem Digest", and see if it's something you'd be interested in being a part of.
If you think you might be a fit, please find me in The BloggerCentral Chat Server.
