Welcome to Steemit @deancarter! You're going to love it here.
This is a good intro post.
Here are some things you'll find helpful on your journey through the Steem-O-Sphere.
and SteemitHelp.net
I made a post about you and resteemed your post throughout my network so you should see some visits.
I suggest responding to the comments you receive both here and on my post about you. You'll find Steemians to be a very engaging community and very friendly.
One warning though, Steemit is very addictive. Just so you know. Good luck! I'm sure you're going to do well and I can't wait to read your blog. If you need any help just ask.
Thank you so much my friend, you are the best!! Beers soon. :)
