hey hey steemsters,

i just want to follow the custom of telling a little bit about myself and what i'm doing...

i'm a berlin-based music producer and dj, mainly making and playing deep house. i'm privately and publicly known as hollis p monroe but i'm also part of a music project called The Black 80s.

music aside, i happen to be straight edge, vegan and currently quite into EMS training.

and finally, i thoroughly enjoy having conversations with people which i often post on my youtube (and soon, dtube) channel: hollis talks

shout out to my friend @lenasveganliving for helping me find my way around because i have NO IDEA what i'm doing as of yet...

Welcome to Steem! That's an amazing portrait of you. Hope you'll find your place on Steem, very glad you have some help since it's not always straightforward in the beginning :-) Just make stuff you love and people who love the same will appreciate it. Cheers!

thank you for the encouragement and good advice, @soyrosa

That's indeed a stellar pic and tip!

and since you both mentioned my portrait, i should tell you that all the credit goes to my photographer friend Marie Staggat :)

She should join us. ;)

i have both the mobile app and the desktop surfer which i actually used to make this intro post.

...discord? another thing i need to learn about? :(

Welcome Hollis and thank you for the shout out. Great introduction, keep it up!

thank you again for the guidance. i'll try not to bug you (too much) ;)

There is no bugging on Steemit, lol. You are very welcome Hollis 😊

Welcome Hollis! Any friend of Lena's is a friend of mine! I look forward to seeing more of what you share. If you would like to connect with other vegans on the blockchain, feel free to join the @vegansofsteemit discord server: https://discord.gg/cHrQVbB

The crew at @steemterminal is also great for new Steemians. I actually just shared one of their latest posts with some basic information about Steem. But you can't go wrong with @lenasveganliving leading you along! :)

Ok, i see i need to figure out what discord is next... :)

likewise, @plantstoplanks and thanks for the links.
i am seriously lost in the sauce so i will take all of the help i can get!

Don't worry, I was clueless when I first started, too! It took me a while, but that was almost 2 years ago and I'm still sticking around. ;) Discord is just a place to chat and for communities to gather together. It's a great way to be able to ask questions and connect with people. Not required by any means, but it can definitely help you figure things out. Especially at first when you don't have a lot of resource credits to be able to post a lot of comments.

cool. i'm gonna check it out then...

Thank you so much Katie for jojng in with some tips. You are awesome 😍

Thank you for sharing the post so I could come drop by! :)

Of course, Hollis is my old buddy 😊

Hey there! Welcome! From one Berliner to the other. The idea of not knowing what you're doing slowly dissolves over time. But believe me, you just signed up for leaving your comfort zone and keep learning for the rest of your membership. But seemingly that's something you're up to. So, good to have you! Make yourself comfortable!

a fellow berliner! yes indeed! many of the most interesting outcomes and experiences in life lie just outside of our comfort zones. danke, @mayb

I love the 80's.

yes, indeed. don't we all?

Welcome to the steemit community @hollistalks!
We sincerely hope you find all that you are looking for here, and have found a new home here.

Six suggestions:
1. guard your passwords carefully, and only post with the posting key,
2. only use your active key for wallet transactions,
3. Master password is only for resetting new passwords,
4. do NOT lose your passwords; copy and store off line,
5. Don't post other people's work, whether photos or written without credit, and
6. when you open up your steemit.com, up in the upper right corner of the page is 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a whole lot of reading material that will help you.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie of @heyhaveyamet featured and promoted your post to get more exposure and help you grow quicker.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or you have any questions there are knowledgeable steemians available that can assist you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Greetings and Welcome to the Steem Community @hollistalks!

I would love to feature your new introduction post in my weekly curation blog if you don't mind! You can find it on my profile, @Ma1neEvent.

You can also check out the @MinnowSupport Project (MSP), a community of Steemians on Discord Chat where you can interact, chat, network, and learn with other members of the Community! There is even a Steem based radio station there with shows and music created by Steemians, @MSP-Waves! Hop in the @MinnowSupport Pond and say hello sometime if you'd like!

thanks for the welcome and for including me in the curation post @ma1neevent. i guess i should mention that there's a typo in the header of the blurb, though. you have me as "@thollistalks" (with an extra "t" at the beginning). :)

i signed up for the discord channel a couple days ago but i'm still figuring out how it works... see you over there!

yes I just noticed that typo too, I corrected it. Sorry about that! Yes be sure to head over to the @MinnowSupport Project discord and check out the @MSP-Waves Radio station!

Heya and welcome to the STEEM blockchain with everything it has to offer. It can take time to find your way around the place and see what is on offer so I built a handy website to put all of the people, games and applications in the one place. I would recommend going to steem-transfer for a look and you will get a great head start as you join our great community.

If you have any questions about what to do or where to go feel free to send me a message on my steem profile @niallon11 or find me on discord at in the Steemexplorers discord. Other than that just have fun and engage with the other users. That's the no1 tip for growing your account and your enjoyment.

Welcome to Steem! No worries about knowing what to do, most of us didn't when we began on the chain. We've a great community that loves to help so ask away with any questions you may have. I hope that you'll also consider sharing your music with the #dsound community. What led you to get into EMS training?


We encourage everyone to explore the various posts and to leave personal comments on those that you wish (for example - thoughts regarding the content or a sharing of a similar experience you've had). This platform thrives through interaction as it's the best way to build relationships with other Steemians while finding communities and initiatives that peak your interests.

We like to advise bloggers to cite if images, videos, etc. used in their posts are of their own creation. This practice gives the creators an opportunity to have it clearly labeled that the works portrayed are the rightful property of the party posting it.

Another tip that we share with everyone is to be careful of copyright infringement when using material that is not of their original creation. Content (for example - images from a website) that grants permission for reuse is acceptable for content creators to utilize within their posts provided there is appropriate attribution to the source. Here's a link that will provide you with more information.
