Thanks for sharing this! As a new steemian, I've been learning many of the things you've summed up and think they are very useful tips to all of us newbies!
I'm very much enjoying steem so far. Mostly because of the nice community. It's rare to find a community of mostly positive and nice people these days.
Happy to help. It looks like you have made a good start. I hope Steemit works out for you.
