Greetings fellow Steemizens!

elvisnightshade (29) in introduceyourself • 5 years ago

Greetings fellow Steemizens, my name is Elvis. I would love to introduce myself, so a little bit about who I am and what my intentions for being on this platform are.

I am a GenXer, living in Fema Region 10. Originally from the East Coast, I relocated to the PNW awhile back. I am a straight up type of shooter, who loves critical thought. I am trying to find a platform where my voice doesn't get squashed or censored (don't have much hope these days).

I have always have had a strong technology bent, and have seen the highs & lows of what silicon valley has to offer. I do believe that the blockchain technology has something to offer but as with all technology the power grabbers always have influence.

I want to use this platform to explore some ideology, some latent thought processes that I feel could warrant exploration if not for myself, maybe for others. Time will Tell as they say.

Lets get at it! - Elvis Nightshade

introduceyourself hello technology

Okay, I read it and I appreciate your help.

I'm already using Appics, Actifit and the Partiko apps, and I took a look at the Dtube.
I still have the Dtube, but I prefer the Appics app to it.

Thanks for your response and have a great day

Tell me why you like Appics more, I used to use it but I don't like it. What makes it so great to you, I want to know because I might change my habits.
Thank you!

I like it more than Dtube, because Appics is really easy to use with my smartphone.
It's actually almost as easy as IG, just a few clicks and the text, and your pic/video is on it's way.

Dtube wasn't reliable, it failed to send my stuff so many times that I was happy to find the Appics app.

Dtube also wants me to add a thumbnail picture, but says so by a default language that is not English.
Appics doesn't want a separate picture for a thumbnail.

Dtube usage is so slow and unreliable, and Appics is much faster and at most times it sends my materials

I just had enough of bad experiences that I was really frustrated and very happy to find out about the Appics app.

Hi, welcome to SteemIt. Good luck on your Steem journey and I wish you the best. I've been here since 2016 but it was only last June when I fully committed to take Steem seriously. Please feel free to read my STEEMJOURNEY.

Here are also some tools that I use and I hope you can find them useful too:

Use Partiko App from your mobile phone to post to your blog, comment, and upvote content in SteemIt to earn points which you can use to boost your own content.
If you’re into games, you may wanna try playing Steem Monsters, a blockchain game based on Steem. It lets you compete with other players around the world with creature cards which you can sell and/or convert to crypto.
Get rewarded for staying fit and healthy with ActiFit - a Steem-based app which rewards you with tokens (which you can eventually use to boost your content) for being physically active. If you're already using Fitbit or a similar app, then you'll find this easy to use.
Invest your Steem Power at Smart Steem and get daily rewards and earn more Steem.
Earn rewards by sharing links to interesting webpages through DLike and earn Dlike tokens
Exchange votes with other users with SteemEngine.Net
Steempeak and eSteem both offer an intuitive way of usi

Welcome elvis
to the Steemit platform, Yes its happening you are a steemian now. I am warm welcoming you as a new user. And you receive this message because you used the #introduceyourself tag!

I was welcomed with good advice too when I started so here i am. I know that steemit may seem very overwhelming right now but don't worry. After a few blog you will be the best blogger and contributor.
If you have any questions just ask your questions on any of my blog posts and I'll be more than happy to assist you with whatever questions you may have!
I may know the answer. But very important I recommend you to never give up any off your passwords they are yours ! Please for safety tips read and visit the white paper or read this blog by me https://steemit.com/community/@brittandjosie/4-o-clocky-steem-keys-key-to-your-succes-so-secure-them
To easy post use APPICS and to control your account use Steemify.
https://steemit.com/busy/@exyle/using-steemify-to-stay-up-to-date-about-the-blockchain-like-project-destiny-please-consider-blockbrothers-for-your-witness-vote The Steemify App I use is great, it is available in the Appstore and its Free.
It gives you insight on what is happening in your account.
Maybe great to join Steemterminal in Discord and visit @heyhaveyamet to See more newcomers onboard.

Welcome to the Steemit community @elvisnightshade!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions:

Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
Use your active key only for wallet transactions and steemconnect,
The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit,
An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Steeming!
