I wish I had kept paying attention to Steemit. I took a break from Steemit but the price attracted me back to the platform. (Wrong reason I know..but I'm back regardless).
I did spend my time away wisely, however. Made some great altcoin investments. :). Like your blog and will follow.
Still a great time to be here, and there is a TON to learn and experiment with... 2018 is going to be large and there is plenty to go around for those willing to reach out and embrace the winds of change. Peace!
STEEM is very nice. I wish I had put in money as well. But please do not forget about XEM, the native coin on the NEM Smart Asset Blockchain. Read my following article on my take, and also my recently blogged article today which explains what I believe led to XEM's immediate surge from $1.10 to $2.00 in about 5 hours.

Follow me if interested. Voted up and following. Thanks for your article.
Best time to make a lot of steem was when it was cheap...
