Welcome @clevecross! :D
That's exactly how I started!
(And with just $3 worth of BTC I found on Mycelium on my phone, haha)

Next, make sure you read the #whitepaper!
You'll understand a WHOLE lot more than most other
users just by taking the time to read through this document.

Signed,
obfuscate-me

I started reading the whitepaper. I already had great expectations of what steem could be, but that surpassed my imaginings. Social media is already amazingly huge... and being able to actually incentivize in a way that allows you to pull from to live, and at the same time make you want to save/re-invest/grow. Looking forward to learning more.

Again, same sentiment(s) here.
I'm looking forward to constantly keeping up your future posts.

Bummer, but stay positive and simply ignore it.
