RE: <3<3<3 Welcome to Steemit! <3<3<3 [A simple guide to get you started on Steem(it)]

in #welcome7 years ago

@inquiringtimes - Thank you so much for this welcome message, especially since I may not have lived long enough to acquire all of this information independently. In fact, although I registered in August, I have yet to "formally" introduce myself, and one of the hindrances for me is technophobia. It's like math. I freeze up. Typing is easy. Adding artwork? I need a nap just to think about it. I've noticed that a YouTube video just works all by itself, so as long as I credit the content creator, that may be my solution. I am currently being mentored by a very generous minnow with a higher reputation score, but he's also developing very interesting new projects so his time is precious. So glad I happened to wander across this post. In fact, the navigation tool that I really do miss in Steemit is an instant directory that locates specific information. Last week, I was trying to find the video that prompted my first comment and it took about an hour to re-trace my steps. Maybe that "kinda-lost" feeling goes away eventually. So thanks again for taking the time to help us. God bless you!

P.S. I would love it if you have time to explain this. Last week, at the very moment, in the split second, that I upvoted a post, the account balance for the post decreased by one penny which made me very nervous. I know that Steem value fluctuates, but I certainly wasn't expecting that. Just now, when I upvoted this post, your account balance for the post jumped from $4.71 to $5.93. Usually when I upvote, nothing happens to the account value at all. So I'm very confused. Clearly I'm not in it for the money, but I should probably try to learn what I don't know. Thank you.

well, if your vote isn't worth a lot, then the price fluctuations have nothing to do with your vote, but simply the market, or other people voting at the same time as you do.

I'm glad if this post is helpful! let me know if you have other questions!

and yes, it's easy to lose posts and forget where information is... I was just having this struggle earlier. Hopefully we get more accurate searching soon! Google doesn't work very well, maybe asksteem.com is better, but I haven't tried it yet.

@inquiringtimes - Yes, I just happened to think of another question. Your links posted here led me to @deepthink because I wanted to view the application. But apparently the application cannot be previewed and that doesn't work for me. Being oh-just-so-slightly anal-retentive, I always want to know what questions I'm about to answer before I answer them (or not). Any suggestions about that?

I can't tell you,except to go to the #deepthink tag and look over what is there to see if it might be a fit
