Good to hear. And indeed a very good advice for newcomers you give there.
SteemIt has a steep learning curve in the beginning, and sometimes it can all seem a little overwhelming. But as you say, all you need to do is ask some questions, and there will always be someone in this amazing community that will drop by and is willing to help you out.
Glad to see you already found out about how great this community is - it took me a couple of weeks before I realized that, lol. My motto about SteemIt: you come for the money, but you stay for the community. In these last 16 months, this place became like my online home. I had never seen a community quite like it. If you would have told me two years ago something like this existed, I wouldn't have believed a word of it. Yet, it's true.
Once again, welcome to this life-changing adventure - I hope you enjoy every step of the way like I did (and still do).
Btw, like in the real world, there are good things, and there are less good things going on on this platform. But the good things are a majority.
(I just noticed you got a friendly spam message from berniesanders above. It came with a small upvote, so I'm very glad he was this friendly. That's not always the case, lol. Don't take too much notice of things like that. Some big guys have some issues with each other, and they like to involve others. The trick is to not let that get to you, and stay as far away from that as possible ;0)

@simplymike, he destroyed my reputation because of that dumb game! He used his multiple accounts including the bernie account you mentioned and took my rep from high 50's to zero. All my posts are hidden and this account is now destroyed because of a game.
Some people can't stand to lose from a person who invested very little in the game, to a person who spends over $500 a day, and still can't win! So instead of trying to beat me in the game he took it outside of that and brought it to the steemit platform!
What I thought was going to be a good thing for the steemit platform might actually lead to its demise! Spamming peoples feed with posts just to get a little upvote and sore losers that think they have all the power because they have money!
It is really a shame! :( Makes me sad!

Sorry to hear about this. It is something to be sad about indeed.
This was something I was afraid of right from the start...

@shiftykappone Do you have a Discord account?? If you do, can you send me a DM, please (@simplymike#5957) - I might have a way for you to get your revenge...

@simplymike sorry it took me so long to get back to you I left SteemIt for awhile after that happened. That game was bad for the community at first.
Not sure if there is still drama with it or not.
I sent you a friend request on Discord. Please connect!
Would like to ask if you know how I can bring my account back to life.

@simplymike, I have created a different account. I am only going to use this account for that dumb game. After all this non-sense blows over I will connect with you from my other account. I am not disclosing the name yet because I will just continue to come under attack on the platform for NO REASON!
