I'm pleased to meet you.

ॐ Greetings and good fortune to you. Today I activated my Steemit account and had some fun outside with the selfie feature on my phone. The pig is named Advaita or Hawaii (2 names), and her sister, Dvaita or Africa, is busy nearby doing something else, probably digging or resting.

I've been vegetarian for twenty-five years, and, along with my wife and kids, keep a variety of farm animals so they can live happily. I'll introduce you to them later. The 108 in my username means I'm enamored with Śrī Kṛṣṇa, or at least that I want people to think it.

Hello paul108! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. Have Fun and Enjoy!
