Sorry about missing your comment, @shasta let me know about it. If you think that for whatever reason in the future you might want a second account this post from @thedarkhorse explains it in very easy to follow instructions: https://steemit.com/education/@thedarkhorse/creating-a-new-account-instantly-d57f4ff0c7c22est
I asked in the steemitblog post - - https://steemit.com/hf20/@steemitblog/velocity-hardfork-account-creation-guidelines - - the following question:
Does this mean that if I want to create a second or third account I am going to have to pay someone instead of using steemconnect?
Two responses:

You will still be able to create an account with SteemConnect. It will just burn the account creation fee, instead of vesting it to the new account.
and
smooth (68) · yesterday
It should be possible, in theory, to use steemconnect to claim and create 'free' accounts using RCs, but low SP users in practice will likely not be able to do so.
So still a few questions about it. Right now it cost you 3 steem to create it yourself, all other places seem to be like I said earlier charging a lot more. The 3 steem goes in to the new account, so you don't really pay for it. After I created my second account I delegated myself 50 SP so I could get a little bit of vote power when I vote.
The " possible, in theory" part from smooth is what is worrisome, and the new RC verse SP thing. In the post they talk about the witnesses setting the "fee" to create an account.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together a very detailed reply, @shadowmask! I appreciate your help here, @shasta! You do make it sound very easy! My new account may have to have a shadowy kind of name, too!

You are welcome, I thought I would share my new account and the why of and where I learned how to make one, on my primary account. Until I need this account for my TC level up I am going to use it as my follow on picture post account.

I think I did it...using the name Melshadow.The 3 SP is no longer in my Steem balance, but it doesn't show in transaction history as leaving my account. I am totally confused, or just computer ignorant, on how to go to my new account. I wrote down the password. Do I have to logout as Melinda010100? This may have been a bad idea for someone who is tech challenged!

I see you found it. Yeah, you see even for software unaware people it was a pretty easy thing to do. It wont show in your wallet what happened, it will on steemd show that you created the account.
The 3 steem will be 3 SP in the new account.

I do apologize for the name I picked. I'm feeling pretty foolish. Can you just pretend we're cousins?

Heck it is your shadow account, you were a shadow gal before I even joined steemit.
A lot of the shadow names were taken, I had to go through several tries before I decided on mask. I should have went for shadowtime, but it was a toss up. maybe next time who knows.Maybe shadowplay, I should have played with more names when picking, I could have been a shadowplay. I could not be a shadowman though as that one was taken, so no shadowman to watch the shadowtime, as he did his shadowplay.
Nah, I really don't mind at all, said the shady shifty shadow on the wall. Joke.

I use Steemworld and I saw it there. That was kind of a relief to know that it worked! I'm glad I have it. Thanks so much.
