Suggestions: The need for newbies to have newbie guide on steemit platform

in utopian-io •  7 years ago  (edited)

I have been on steemit for a while now and my reputation has really getting high, truth be told it wasn't easy for me at first, when I started using steemit I was mostly a lay about, who knows nothing on how to go about things here.

It took me over two weeks to be able to come understand my role on steemit and to understand things I need to do to make friends and earn votes too.

This as prompt me to pen this suggestion for the need for newbies to have a user guide upon registration, should be a video instructional guide and a graphical instructional guide.

It will be nice if after a newbie registers and log on to steemit the guide will pop up for them to see, and also the newbie guide should be placed at the menu corner of steemit platform for easy access for revisiting sakes, as indicated by my below screen shot:

I think this will help newbies grow faster in making use of steemit.

I know there's "Welcome" but most people don't even gets to go there and it does not graphical guide nor video guide, graphical user guide is best in understanding any website.

Very understood... Thanks

Alas, I'm one of the many minnows who would benefit from such a graphic aid.
Indeed it is difficult for those who are in the dark ages to become tech savvy....and that is the bridge we must cross

I suppose you could start by making a guide and hopefully it will get attention. It's a pity that when it comes to tech, a lot of excellent products and services remain unappreciated because their benefits and usage are not easily explained to "outsiders". A very good example is how Linux had a sort of a bad reputation of being weird, not easy to use, not being fully stable. It's only when one actually uses it for a while that they realize it is actually one of the best things that ever happened to the world of software.
