Meet Joe Black

Today I'm 50, and I decided to write my late introduceyourself post.
I'm not too fond of selfies nowadays, so I spent a hard time choosing the best one:

I was born in 1967, Nov-22. I was a shy boy. Not many friends. Probably a light Asperger. My childhood was kind of a farm life. I was at a school close to my house. When I grew up...

[ I'M SORRY: MY WIFE AND AND MY TWO CHINDREN SURPRISED ME WITH A CAKE...]

Childhood in school
Religion
More Religion
Still More Religion
Family and Home

...and that was the story of my life.

Happy Birthday, Jack.

And welcome to Steemit. You will find many things on this platform of great interest, so just search the various topics and feeds for posts that interest you, and start engaging with the community.

And don't worry about being shy or being a farmboy. I too was a shy boy from rural Canada, and am still a bit reserved. But Steemit is more of a "publishing venture" than a "social network" like Facebook.

I never cared for Facebook, and just stopped going there about 5 years ago. On the other hand, I found Steemit to be much more interesting, and even rewarding. I hope you too have a great experience here.

Below are a few basic tips re posting on Steemit.

Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

p.s. Hope all your surprises today are great ones.

My posts already talk about an editorial line. I like it (and I like yours)
What I expect from Steemit?
I'm trying to follow this:
"The best attitude to have is to expect to make nothing. Have fun. Get engaged. Make friends. If along the way you earn something - bonus!"
