Dear Steemaholics and Steemaniacs,
I'm definitely new here. I'm looking around, getting a feel for Steemit. I just read the White Paper. I still don't totally understand everything regarding steemit, but like most good things, I think it might take some time to figure out. Am I right? Forgive me, as I am not the best at introductions.
Let me start out with a little about myself by providing some personal facts: I’m a lefty (southpaw). Mostly introverted, but I do crave social connections. I’m interested in all things homesteading and the outdoors/nature. Actually I have way too many interests and hobbies. To the point it causes me stress if I start to neglect some over others. And to top it off I have a family with two small children that occupies most of time, besides work. Speaking of that, I’m a bird biologist for a national non-profit research group, Bird Studies Canada. I’ve had a fascination with birds for 17 years or so.
So why the heck am I here? I don’t know. I never paid much attention to Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media or forum, probably because I didn’t really see the value in it. I feel like most social media platforms are very simplistic and individual-centric. But Steemit seems different; more complex and community-centric, like an ant colony! I think I’d like to be an ant...
FULL STEEM AHEAD!
Talk to you soon

Welcome to Steemit
Don't forget to read up on "keys" & passwords.
Basically don't log in with your "master key"
Use your private posting key.
TL;DR: You should have ALREADY saved your PASSWORD that was used to generate your keys
Next go to Profile >Wallet > Permissions and copy paste all FIVE keys to a safe place.
(eg a text file on a memory stick)
The “OWNER” key is the ‘master key’, keep it VERY safe
Daily logins for posting should use your Private POSTING key.
Once you have copies saved, log out and log back in with USERNAME & your POSTING key
Hope that helps some.

STOPWelcome to Steemit from Hamilton 👍
This is why I come to steemit every day! It came to my attention that you have a new account so I thought I'd say hi and welcome you. This post was nice so I upvoted it and I hope you will some day do the same!
I am struggeling, like you, to get those big upvotes on my posts so my advice would be to give @MinnowPowerUp a go as you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I have more info on my experience with the system in this post where I explain how I earn over $1 a day from upvotes.
Welcome to Steemit, Myles. We do have a lot of homesteaders here in Steemit, just follow the tag to find them the way those ants in your verification are following something. ;), by the way, good verification picture, you're quite creative. Steem On!
