Hi there!
Your husband traded you for Steem? Ahahahah! I guess he's just excited to see this platform grow. Steemit is like a little baby right now, so small and so cute. We like to see it evolve... it's fun to watch new people appear everyday, from all around the globe!
I'm also new here. In short, this is a social media site, much like facebook and myspace, but with a major difference. Instead of making Zuckerberg rich, the site distributes money by the content creators.
The best content you post, the more money you'll get... the more followers you have, the more your posts are worth... even voting on other's peoples comments and posts might earn you a small crumb... ;-)
However, if your content is not good, or you simply copy+paste an article from other site, people won't give you much credit for that... and you'll probably end up with very small earnings, if any at all.
This is a process that, hopefully, leads to people sharing great content... instead of dumping memes all day long, like it happens on other sites.
I'm fascinated by this idea and eager to see how it goes.
Anyway, welcome... and may you have lots of fun! :-D
Hugs from Portugal!
Thanks! I'll do my best ;)
