Thanks for the info, that's helpful. Like you, I'm a published author also. In fact, within my field, many moons ago I ran one of Europe's leading online trader training companies. Having said that, I do understand that on new platforms such as steem, that kudos amounts to a hill of nothing, and I am starting from scratch. Which of course I don't mind, but when you see articles just not being seen, it can be disheartening.

I've a YouTube channel also, where I use my knowledge within audio production and media in general, to help people get the most from their TV's and more. I'm in the process of putting them on www.d.tube which is a cool video channel using steem.

Having said that, I do believe in Steemit.com and the Steem currency, so much so I setup a Witness for that very purpose. Thanks once again for your links.
