ready to pull my hair out

in frustrated •  7 years ago 

I just signed up for steemit yesterday. The computer generated password was unbelievably difficult, but finally got through. Now trying to learn this new platform, and they suggested I sign up for chat. Entered name, email, password, etc. and they told me my email was incorrect, register new acct. So tried again, then , they said no acct by that name, so tried to register a new acct, then they said that acct already exists. I do not think this steemit is going to be a good fit for me, since my computer skills are not hitting at least an A-.

There are a lot of parts of steemit that can be confusing and tricky.

Which Chat have you been trying to sign up for?

Discord is one of the chat services that a lot steemit activity happens on.

There are many different Discord 'servers' for different areas of interest.

I am involved in one for people interested in homesteading, gardening, cooking etc. You would be welcome to come along there.

This link will take you to that Discord server :

You will need to sign up for a Discord account, but once you have that account you will be able to access all the Discord servers.

Hope to see you there sometime soon.

In the meantime keep cooking on steem.

haha.... your tags are soooo funny.

But wrong. And not helpful. It is okay. I know you are learning so much!

But tags work as one word Search Words to help people find your Post. "right" will never show up as one anyone searches for. to really do "down right ticked" you would need to type "downrightticked" or "down-right-ticked" but again, no one will ever search for that..... soooo...

best to use your first two: frustrated, agravated, .... then maybe "rant" and "upset" and "confused" or "life" .

Though.... few of those will actually be searched by people.

Just never ever use tags that don't belong. Like... if you do a cooking blog about your best Thanksgiving dish.... don't put "Bitcoin" or "NASA" as tags. They wouldn't belong.

ANyway, as I see you are still getting in, I see you didn't lose your Master Key yet. Hopefully someone you trust at your home can help you go into Permissions and get your Posting key saved in a Word/WordPad/Notepad file. Just copy and paste it each time you need it. No need to type it each time. Then you can use it for all of your blogging, commenting and posting. Just use the Active key to do something with your money/SBD/Steem/Steem Power/Wallet.

If you have any questions, please ask and I will be happy to help!

Yes, I see now down right ticked would never work. I will be more creative from now on. Yes, I think I am going to have to have someone show me the Master Key. Makes me feel like I felt way back in the early 90's when we got the Super Mario Nintendo and I could jump up and get that magic mushroom that made me bigger and invincible for a little while.
