Welcome to Steem @micmay.
Do read A thumb rule for steemit minnows - 50:100:200:25 for starter tips.
Spend time reading Steem Blue Paper to know how Steem blockchian works and if you still have any queries ask them on our Ask me anything about Steemit post and we will try to answer that.
All the Best!!!
welcome. I'm pretty new as well, so don't worry. I love this community so far. Indeed. Most of us I think are open books, so ask us anything.
