I agree that there needs to be an easier way to put it all together, to facilitate the experience for new steemians, with zero knowledge of the cryptoverse, and sometimes very rudimentary knowledge of anything 'computer related.'
It's a shame that friends, and friends of friends, with incredible talent in many fields, especially artistic, music, and literary, have shirked from my invites 'cause it all seems 'too much to handle.' I'm no wiz myself, and kinda enjoy the process of learning the ropes, but maybe that's because I've a little time on my hands at the moment.
Saying that, I'm lovin' it here, and do trust that steemit will change enough to accommodate even the most tech fearful netizens.
IMO - as a community, which in some ways is exclusive, it needs to evolve to include people like my mum, who couldn't work out how to set a record time on a VHS back when, but is living it up over on Facebook.
