Hello! My name is Stuart and it's a fantabulous pleasure to meet you all. Imagine my surprise when I realized that, in the midst of my writing this blog post, a rogue narwhal turned up in the background! To aid with you imagining this scene, I've included photographic evidence below. For your convenience, I've labelled the photobombing narwhal with red text.

Anyway, narwhals aside, I plan to post articles on writing and creativity, but I don't plan on restricting myself to those topics. If any of that interests you, stick around. If it doesn't, stick around anyway!

Happy steeming ;]

Hello stuart.pringle! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

  1. Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
  2. Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
  3. Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
  4. Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
  5. Have Fun and Enjoy!

Oh snap nice narwhal dude. It seems like this is becoming more and more of an issue lately (rogue narwhals and such). Global warming? Happy you survived this close encounter and looking forward to more tall tales! Cheers - Carl

You are awesome.

Welcome @stuart-pringle! It is a nice platform to socialise and earn some money. But it can be a roller coaster ride as making your space is not easy and steem prices going very down, it can be disheartening sometimes. Just write because you like to write and mingle with other like minded steemians because you like to.
I can vouch that this is better than any other social media any day!
So have fun and good luck!
