Hey @kaelci! It's so great to meet you. Welcome to Steemit!
It's so great to hear from you about how this post has helped you! I always appreciate the perspectives I get from established members, but to hear from someone who has just joined makes this even better. I hope you've read Part 2 about your account keys and security! I hope it will also be helpful to you!
Let me know if you have any questions about anything. I can always take feedback into consideration when I continue the series!
Best wishes on Steemit. I'll go check out your blog.
Yes, I did :) and I just completed the locking of my deeds well within my safe, so to speak. Thank you once again! Security information for a newbie is always welcome knowledge. I'm fairly new to the whole cryptocurrency thing also, as of maybe six months ago, and security is always a priority.
For the most part I feel that Steemit is fairly intuitive. My main issue was with the nuances of the upvote, how it was worth something, and how your voting power falls after excessive use (woops). Will be a bit more selective with my votes once it returns to a more respectable percentage! And I appreciate the links to various discord groups. I'm not much of a Discordian, but it seems to have become prevalent in most aspects of the internet now so I may need to become more active in that respect. Especially if I want to join in with the communities, which I definitely do! I'm here to participate however I can. :)
I can't think of anything in particular at the moment that may be of benefit... but I'm sure that I'll think of something as I continue to use the platform and come across curious things.
I've got a lesson on voting in the works. If you want to preview it, you might find some helpful info! https://hackmd.io/s/HyuJaoWdz
Discord communities are great. I know that you'd enjoy getting plugged into The Writers' Block. My good pals @GMuxx, @rhondak, and @damianjayclay would love to have you, especially since you're an aspiring writer. I'd suggest starting there if you want to get involved. Here's a link to their server: https://discord.gg/vNY2wB2
Glad you took advantage of the security precautions. I wish you the best as you continue to get the hang of things!
Thank you for the shout-out!
No problem! I know you guys do some fantastic work, so it's always my pleasure to refer aspiring writers over to your wonderful community.
