I warmly welcome you and happy you joined steemit. It's a wonderful community. It would help you very much to have a picture with you saying hello to the community #steemit (written on paper with you holding it) with your steemit name and current date. This helps verify that it is in fact you, in case of someone hacking your account. It has become standard on here to have that picture done. There are people with much more experience than I that can help you with this. Also, you can use up to 5 taglines to reach a broader audience.
