Hi Shelly,
If you click on the three lines in the top right hand side of the screen a menu will come up. At the top is 'Welcome' That will explain everything about steemit better than I can .
This is a very old post and the woodworking competition is now held on @woodworkcurators. The competition is for the best woodworking posts written that week. You can read this weeks competition rules here Weekly Woodworking Competition #9
I hope that helps,
Thanks, @jist
