I'm really loving your project @gogogadgetupvote, Right now i will resteem it for more people to see what you're doing. I think everyone here deserves a chance and a good start on steemit. I'm also new and I know how it feels, I still like to help tho :P.
The idea of a contest was very good. I have an idea on what the contest should be about. I would say every day, or week or whatever you should hold a contest where people send their posts to you (only newer people), and the post that someone has really put their time and effort into and made very good wins contest and receive a upvote from you and a resteem. Something like that. Just something that popped into my head but you could work on that idea!
Thank you so much for your kind words @lillieskold!!! I am glad to see people appreciating what I am trying to do. I really appreciate the support! Don't forget to drop me links in the future if you happen upon any good intro posts!
