My first few months : learning curve

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

So my first few months have come and gone.
Can’t really critique unless you have tried it for a good while.

I have learned some. Mostly all on my own.
I have learned that Steemit doesn’t like my phone, it keeps changing my words even after I have double checked them.
I have learned there are some really cool people on here.
I have learned that there are some who are willing to help.
I have learned that there are to many scams and to much spam.
I learned that my feed doesn’t show everyone I follow, only a select few.
I learned that the app has a book mark option for awesomeness you want to save, but the web page does not. So then you have to hunt down what you want between the two. Major pain in the ass.
I have learned many thing for other homesteaders, enough to make my brain explode. 🤯
I learned you can’t just upvote everything you like, I learned that before joining thank goodness.
I learned that this is a coding platform, more interesting and also complicated then expected.

What I plan on for the future...
...is to learn more about farming, homesteading, prepping, off grid living, and fishing technics and lures.
I also plan on contrubuting to these areas the best I can.
I also plan on catching more of my errors before posting, human made and phone made. I hate that my phone thinks it knows what I am trying to say.

Well thanks you all, the first month wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I learned a lot.
The warmer months are heading our way, I hope to share more of Alaska and how we do things on our homestead. ✌️💗

Damn I even errored on this post. Ugh!
I am also thankful for an edit button

I am also trying to learn more about the gardening/homesteading/offgrid living. Hopefully, I can get my garden finished and in this year but at the same time get the cabin up and built, there is always soo much going on.
Today, I went out plowing the road to the lake because yesterday it was snowy and blowing so it had drifted my road. Well.... needless to say I didn't make it across the lake and I have to go back for my plow (I already had a load in my truck to drop off at the cabin, so I couldn't load my plow in the back). Today is just not my day! 😒

Damn that sucks!
I don’t know if you seen this, but I posted an easy to move alternative for cold climate gardens.

A small garden would also remind you to slow down from time to time and just breath. 💗

My climate is probably not as haesh as yours is, but our growing season is still pretty short here, so learning more about northern gardening is always on my list of things to do. I'm not off grid, so I don't have all of that to learn also.

Hi Alaska Hippie,
I am also a newbie (from Australia)- not quite up to one month yet. I am not living off the grid but I really love your posts. I'm finding it's not easy learning how to be part of the steemit community. I want to encourage you to keep posting about your life. It brings great value to those of us, like me, who are not coding, scamming or spamming :-) I look forward to learning about you and your life. Please keep posting - and just about where you are at is so interesting, and I will keep reading.

Warm regards and happy Easter to you and your family,
Margot.
