Hello, SoCal Sophie. Welcome to STeem lol
@derekrichardson - a new SoCal/ San Diego Steemian!!

The Freewritehouse is where we are having lots of writing fun. The daily prompt is found @mariannewest :)

Why does it show the steemit logo instead of a follow button?

And this is my podcast account. Soon, I will blog on it again. When I get the podcast on the road again.

These are the 4 I mostly use. The Freewritehouse has others posting as well...

Or follow, or pretty much anything, lol

Hello @socalsophie. Welcome to the Steem blockchain! I like your pet. lol. I had a few pet tarantulas when I was young. They're such cool little creatures.

Cool. BTW I tried to follow your account but it just shows the steemit logo and not the follow button... I'll figure it out eventually ;)

I wish I knew how to like peoples comments! :-(

since you don't have much voting power, you might try replying to the comment. Hit the reply under the comment you want to say something about. Better way to get seen at this point.

Welcome to appics and steemit. 💐

Welcome to Appics ☺️

Thank you, I like your artful photos

Beautiful! My granddaughter keeps tarantulas and reptiles. She has an educational Youtube channel called "California's Critters" (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZruxxZc2ED7wLeugD2_1UQ) that your kid might find useful. !tip

Thx, I'll pass it along!

I'm just on Appics & haven't figured out Steemit yet. Quite the learning curve, so it may take me some time but I will definitely do that as soon as I figure out how

I'm not using Appics and therefore I, unfortunately, cannot be helpful.

Ok maybe I'll join Steemit and I can 'meet' you there

Good idea. I personally use steempeak which is (to me) the best front-end for the Steem blockchain.

The hyperlinks don't work in Appics and when I type them in, it gives me a 404
