Welcome Emily! I'm sure you'll enjoy Steemit!
It is important to verify yourself so people can know this account is really yours. People usually do this by posting a picture holding a sheet of paper with a message to the Steemit community, i.e. "Hello Steemit".
Or simply post a link to your steemit blog on your Facebook page.
My Next Post will contain a picture with Hello Steemit For sure

It's only a suggestion but you should consider to add this picture on this post and not waiting for the next one. There is a lot of people trying to make a quick buck by stealing others identity.
Nobody seriously engaged in Steem (the ones who make you win money with your post) will vote you until this proof is available. This post won't be noticed and it would be a shame.
It only takes a minute ! if you don't want to use a photo, you can use your facebook account ;)
Welcome aboard Emily ;p
