Hello Brad, welcome to Steem! :-)
Don't be spoiled with a success of your first post.
You've been featured in OCD, which means you got a whole lot of luck (and not only because of luck, but also because of hard working curators like @anmitsu, who are going through tons of garbage posts looking for high quality, original content)
Usually it's a sweat, blood and tears here ;-)
Thanks for the words of wisdom gtg. As I said to anmitsu this is completely new territory for me, so I've got no idea what to expect. It is really nice to have that initial boost though, so I will try to build on that, and not waste the opportunity.
