Thanks @nomadicsoul for all the effort you put into this article. For a newbie like me it has answered alot of questions and put me on the right track (following some of the people you mentioned). It can be a little overwhelming at first on here.
Alot of it is common sense too. Not to abuse steemit or be annoying to people. I'm not that interested in the money side of it. Like you said to work as a community and read each others thoughts and experiences is what it is about, for me anyway.
I look forward to reading your future blogs. Take care on your travels.
Thanks! I'm so glad it helped!
