I've come across some obstacles. My daughter tried to sign up, I have tried to sign her up. We have used different phones, emails you name it, cannot get an account going ! possibly about 5 different occassions now. (That's one reason) Another reason is the free flowing style (I have my own website so I can categorise my blogs) If Stemmit can have independent category buttons, that may help. It looks a little messy from the outside, is what I am told, and sadly the drama llama posts take up trending posts it puts people off. The amount of conversations I have had with people about the 'professionalism' of steemit is countless. But am looking at this from on perspective, I believe Steemit works, but it's still early days. This is @sarahewaring by the way posted on my sons account.
