Hello Everyone,
I am brand new to the Steemit Community. My name is Matt. I've only just begun my journey into the universe of block-chain social media, but i'm excited to learn and become a part of the growing future. Shout out to @blewitt for teaching me the beginning ways of the Steem block-chain. Proud Master Yoda would be. As shown I am a huge nerd. Star Wars, comics, video games ad technology are my passions. I love everything about the nerd world and love to expand my knowledge of the geek community. Anything Star Wars, superhero or video game related and I can chat for hours! Can't wait to see all the great stuff everyone has!IMG_20190416_160749_869.jpg

Glad you made it on brother. The nerd community is still small but is growing each week. Take your time and just Jess around a bit. Don’t be afraid to ask questions

Thanks man!

OK, anyone standing in front of a life-size Tie Fighter is alright with me. Welcome to the madness dude!

That was at Star Wars Celebration Chicago this year. If you love Star Wars, Celebration is like the holy grail of conventions

Welcome to Steemit! Great to see a fellow Star Wars fan here - I saw Billy Dee Williams at a Comic Con last year and it was fantastic :)

I met him at Celebration Orlando. Best meet i've yet though is definitely Anthony Daniels. That man is a riot

Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

You're welcome ;)

Welcome to Steemit mrgerbs1. The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. You should also check out DTube and DSound for starters and if you're a gamer, Steem Monsters! There are many other cool apps but I can't list them all here, there's just too many! But I'd also like to mention Steempeak, it's a better blogging platform that has a lot of cool features. Welcome to the blockchain! :) Oh, and if you're interested in creating your own tokens or smart contracts, check Steem engine!

Welcome! Glad to see another nerd hit the scene! @blewitt was getting lonely 😜

In all seriousness, he’s one of my favorite people and I’m happy to see he brought you on board. You are now apart of the most amazing and dysfunctional family you have ever seen 😁 you’re gonna love it.

Did @blewitt threaten to end your life if you didn't post?

Lol welcome!

Welcome to the steemit community @mrgerbs1!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for here and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions:

  1. Save your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Just use your active key for wallet transactions,
  3. The master password is only to reset new passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written without credit,
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
  7. 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!

Welcome to Steem, Matt! That's a great photo, where was it taken? (And how did you resist the urge to sneak under the barrier straps?) What comics do you read? Have a lovely day and please don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have.


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.
