Intro - Jumping Off and Jumping In

[blerdgreen]

Hello fellow Steemians!

I created this account several months ago while I pondered leaving other social media outlets and coming over to Steemit. Well, I finally decided to take the jump off Facebook, G+, Instagram YT and jump into Steemit.

A Lil About Me

I'm a retired therapist who loves comics, some anime, gardening, cooking, earth and plant worship and most of all the long forgotten skills of reading, informative discourse and making things with my hands.

I have/had websites, social media groups and pages dedicated to teaching others how to cook, make handmade toiletries and live as one with mother earth. (Yes, I occasionally wear my Birkenstocks and some call me a "Crunchy Momma".)

On Steemit, I hope to continue sharing with and learning from other contributors. Or, at the least, bring a smile to someone's face with my droll sense of humor.

Until next time...

Hello blerdgreen! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Welcome to Steemit blerdgreen. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem or anything related to it! The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. We also have DTube - our very own Youtube, DSound for Soundcloud and Steepshot if you prefer Instagram like experience. I'd also like to mention ChainBB - forums, Busy - Steemit with more modern look basically, DMania for memes and Dlive for streaming just like in Twitch! You can also earn Steem by gaming now! Search for Steemgar if that's more your thing. Welcome to the blockchain! :)
