Hi Steemit,

My name's Nick, I write stuff, and I'm here because I'm looking for more people to read the stuff that I write. Hopefully some of them will even enjoy it.

(This is proof I'm a person.)

I set up a blog site about a year ago in order to have somewhere to attach links to the books I write and things like that, but since then I've really got into writing blog posts mostly about the hikes I go on with my friends in the South of England (picture the walking bit of the Lord of the Rings but with the action replaced with the puerile humour of the Inbetweeners but probably not as good as either).
Thing is, the blog doesn't get many readers, but after talking to a friend at work about it, it sounds like Steemit might be a more appropriate platform to share my various ramblings and other things I find interesting.

As I go, I'm intending to share my various hike posts, short stories, comic art, and - chapter by chapter - the latest novel I'm writing, just for you lovely people. Hope that's okay.

Along the way I'm hoping to learn a bit about Steemit, cryptocurrency and anything else I can, because it's always good to learn new things, isn't it?

Cheers,
Nick

Welcome Nick! Steemit is a great way to learn about cryptocurrency. It's probably the main reason I joined. I share ramblings and adventures too. I look forward to following your adventures across the pond. Cheers from Montana.

Hello Nick. Welcome to the community, I hope you will enjoy.

I have one advice for you. You are new here so you need to grow your account, get followers and upvotes from other people. Its sometimes hard to get that but thankfully there is steemfollower that can help. You can login there with my referral link so that we both have profit from that. Here's the link: https://steemfollower.com/?r=3772 . Check out and tell me what you think.

All the best :))

[nwtwyford]

Thanks for advice @silgro, I'll bear it in mind. I'm learning as I go here... :-)

[prachik]

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.

[nwtwyford]

Hi @fred777bear, this sounds like pretty important stuff. I'll try not to take the TLDR approach and take what you've said on board! :-)

[samuelpoh]

[darius1993]

Great having an actual proof! Welcome to steemit have a wonderful experience ahead. @darius1993

[nwtwyford]

Definitely not a robot! Thanks @darius1993

[darius1993]

huh? What do you mean with the robot part? lol

[sneak]

That's just what a robot would say. Don't you know they try to hide?

[nwtwyford]

You caught me. I-am-a-robot. Beep beep.

[neilanthony]

welcome here at steemit enjoy and have a nice day ahead.

[nwtwyford]

Thanks @neilanthony :-)

[geechidan]

I think your friend was right. Steemit allows you to interact whereas something like a Wordpress is a bit isolated so there's no community of the people that give you feedback. I do hip hop and a couple of conscious podcasts. I'm pretty blunt and aware so stop on by and lets be friend.

[nwtwyford]

Legit observation, @geechidan, I'm already more comments than I did on wordpress. Followed :-)

[thailand-funfun]

Hey , how are you ?
welcome to steemit. @nwtwyford
following you now. :D
follow me back pls.

[onority]

Hi Nick... Nice to meet you... Welcome to Steemit..🌹.. This is a nice intro post... I hope you will do great over here as a steemian..😊.. Follow Me @onority

[nwtwyford]

Thanks @onority, much appreciated!

[onority]

You are most welcome… 😊

[surfermarly]

Thing is, the blog doesn't get many readers, but after talking to a friend at work about it, it sounds like Steemit might be a more appropriate platform to share my various ramblings and other things I find interesting.

Good decision, on steemit you might be able to quickly build a decent followership and get the attention your content deserves.
Welcome to the platform, Nick!
Your field of interest sounds quite inspiring, I will follow you for future blog posts :-)
Enjoy your time

[nwtwyford]

Thank you @surfermarley, very kind of you. :-)

[biohackerxgp]

Welcome! Nice intro! As a guitarist you could also post your music/YouTube vids if you have them, and make $ that way as well. Anyway, I wish you much success!

[nwtwyford]

Hi @biohackerxgp, I don't think I'm quite at the posting music point right yet, but good to know it's an option down the line :-)

[dayleeo]

Glad you're here Nick! And glad you are not a robot, as confirmed by your photo! ;) Welcome!

[nwtwyford]

Thanks @dayleeo! I'm pretty sure I'm not a robot, but how would I know?

[dayleeo]

Data knew! That's a start ;)

[gringalicious]

Welcome to steemit @nwtwyford. You'll do great here

[nwtwyford]

Thanks, @gringalicious, I hope so!

[kromosoom]

Hey! I can see that you have signed up recently so welcome to the great community of steemit. Have one upvote from me and I'm waiting for many more posts in the future!
As a fresh steemian it can be hard to increase your steem power so you could give @MinnowPowerUp a go. This service lets you 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 compiled this post to explain the system in more depth and share my own experience in earning wupvotes for over $1 a day.
