My introduction to Steemit

My name is Gary. I have been a service technician with Sears for a very long time. I have been married for what seems like an eternity and am still deeply in love with my wife. We have one son. A fellow co-worker's daughter told me about this and I thought I would check it out and am now finally getting around to trying to make my first post. Working takes up much of my time and in my spare time, I spend it with my family.

I love nature and being outdoors. I hope to learn how to be a better blogger on here and write about the things I know the most about.

-Gary

Welcome to Steem @garyishmael.

Do read [A thumb rule for steemit minnows - 50:100:200:25](https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemladder/a-thumb-rule-for-steemit-minnows-50-100-200-25) for starter tips.

Spend time reading [Steem Blue Paper](https://steem.io/steem-bluepaper.pdf) to know how Steem blockchain works and if you still have any queries ask them on our [Ask me anything about Steemit post](https://steemit.com/steem/@steemladder/there-are-no-dumb-questions-ask-anything-you-want-to-know-about-steem-blockchain) and we will try to answer that.

All the Best!!!

Hello garyishmael! Welcome to Steemit! Hope you'll like the community here. As a start, here are 5 tips that we believe will be helpful to you:

Keep your passwords safe: Unlike conventional sites, Steemit has 4 types of passwords. Each offers varying degrees of access to your account, so know where and when to use each of them. Also, make sure to keep them all safe and secure.
Get Steem rewards: When writing a post, you'll have the option to choose how to receive your reward: "Default 50%/50%" or "Power Up 100%". As of this moment, choosing Default 50%/50% is the better option. But this can change over time. Check our post to know more.
Upvote wisely: When upvoting, wait at least 30 minutes after the post is published to maximize your curation reward. Also, make sure not to upvote too much too fast so as not to drain your voting power.
Know your Steem, Steem Dollars and Steem Power: Steem and Steem Dollars are the 2 main currencies here. Convert and power up more Steem into Steem Power so you can have higher values on your upvotes.
Have Fun and Enjoy!

Welcome to Steem Community @garyishmael! As a gentle reminder, please keep your master password safe. The best practise is to use your private posting key to login to Steemit when posting; and the private active key for wallet related transactions.

In the New Steemians project, we help new members of steem by education and resteeeming their articles. Get your articles resteemed too for maximum exposure. You can learn more about it here: https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gaman/new-steemians-project-launch
