Welcome! Just a heads up, Steemit flags referral links. It's kinda lame, but it's because they don't want 50% of post to be shilling their link. (I know because I try to get my Control-Finance referral out and it gets flagged)
I post a picture like this and say "Check my Link by typing in the referral link"
Yeah I understand it their platform so it's cool
