Look who's here ^^ Justafrood,
In case this has been your first Introdusemyself Post i'm here to welcome you to Steemit.
I hope you have a lot of fun here and you may follow me.
Have a great time @rightuppercorner

Welcome to Steemit
Don't forget to read up on "keys" & passwords.
Basically don't log in with your "master key"
Use your private posting key.

TL;DR: You should have ALREADY saved your PASSWORD that was used to generate your keys
Next go to Profile >Wallet > Permissions and copy paste all FIVE keys to a safe place.
(eg a text file on a memory stick)
The “OWNER” key is the ‘master key’, keep it VERY safe
Daily logins for posting should use your Private POSTING key.
Once you have copies saved, log out and log back in with USERNAME & your POSTING key
Hope that helps some.

Welcome to steemit

i am followning and upvote u now follow and upvote me back @tanvirsadatripon

Thanks for the tips! I will read up!

No probs. Passwords are used to generate FIVE keys
If you ever think your keys are compromised, just generate a new password & re create the keys
Keep copies off line, in case your hard drive fails
Use the private POSTING key to log in daily (unless your transferring your millions!)
Hackers lurk, Ddos & virus attacks happen!
Who knows what they do or don't get. Be safe

Hello Welcome to Steemit wish you best of luck ! Glad to see more people like you

Hey , how are you ?
welcome to steemit. @justafrood
following you now. :D
follow me back pls.

Hello and welcome to Steemit! Do you make alcoholic cider by chance? I brew my own mead. I'm interested in making cider and wine too though. With all those baskets in the one photo, it looks like you may own land with a lot of your own apple trees on it?

Webpages

There are a ton of other webpages to help you with Steemit. Here are some of the best for beginners:

https://steemd.com/ (This site is used to keep track of your voting power and other stats. You do not want to run out of voting power, and you only get so much per day. I keep my voting power around 80% for example.)

https://steem.makerwannabe.com/ (This site will tell you who follows you, who unfollows you, and who mutes you. It is great for meeting new people too. I regularly check it to see who has followed me to see if I should follow them back.)

https://steemit.chat/ (This site is the official chat webpage for Steemit. There are Discord channels too, but I usually stick to the official site. Come in to network and meet new friends. You can directly message people there too, so it makes it easier to communicate with your closest friends.)

Bots

Oh yeah, there are a lot of bots on here. If you see a cookie cutter reply, especially to your intro post, it is almost certainly a bot. Check the account's reputation. If it is low, I would recommend just ignoring them. Everything is public on Steemit, so you can go look at an account's comments and replies. Are they all the same? It's a bot.

Sourcing and Adding Photos

Adding photos to your account as a new Steemian may be confusing at first too. The easiest way it to click to "Submit a Story." Once in there, use the built in Steemit tool to upload an image from your computer. Below the posting window, you will see "Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them." Click on the blue text. Once the image is uploaded, you can copy and paste the link into your account settings.

Here's a link to a Google Document I made to help with the coding:

Account Verification

Verifying your identity is very important because it will get you more support and people will trust you more. The best way to verify is to link back to your Steemit account by using another public social media account. For example, I posted my Steemit articles from here through my Twitter account. Another person posted their Steemit information on their Facebook account. Some people will even post a video of themselves writing out their account information since that cannot be Photoshopped. The more famous a person is or the more valuable their content is, the more important it is that they verify. If a new account falls within those two categories and fails to verify, it may get blacklisted.

Security

Do not use your owner key to log into Steemit.com to post. Use your private posting key instead. Keep your owner key offline as much as possible, and only use it when you must.

Per the advice given by Arcanage, you should only use your owner key to:

1. Recover your account.
2. Change the other keys.
3. Give a present to your children a few minutes before dying.

A lot of scams have been happening on Steemit recently. If you click a link to a site that prompts you to log into it, be extra careful. Double and triple check the address to make sure it is really steemit.com. A recent scam was using "lsteemit" as the domain name, and people were entering their owner keys to log into it. That allowed the scammers to take those user's accounts, empty the money from them, and then ruin their reputation by using the newly hacked accounts to further the scam.

If you find or suspect a scam, please report it in the #steemitabuse channel on steemit.chat.

Again, welcome, and I've followed you! If you have any questions about getting started, look me up on the chat site.

Great post! This seems like a brand new account so I'm sending you my support. Have one upvote from me and see you in your next post!
I am struggeling, like you, to get those big upvotes on my posts so you should try out @MinnowPowerUp where you can earn up to 30% more steem power than just powering up through steemit! It's a subscription based daily upvote bot that draws its power from a delegation pool. I made this post to explain the system in more depth and show how I earn over $1 a day in upvotes.

Thanks, I'm out of the brewing game, used to brew beer and cider. That shot was from my friends house. We pressed 105 gallons of cider last weekend from apples on their land!!! Thanks for the tips. Learning my way through this place....haven't ventured into chat-land yet

It is a new account, and I appreciate the votes. Learning all the fun ins and outs here. I'm trying to work really hard on delivering content that adds value back for folks.

That's a lot of cider. Wow! What happens to the apple solids left over? Do you add anything to the cider to preserve it? That's process sounds like a fantastic post idea. ;-)

P.S. I gave you a 100% upvote to raise your reputation a couple points.

Thanks, thats a good idea. The press is a vintage press, really sweet piece of machinery. The solids are either composted or given to pigs. Nothing is added to the cider to preserve it. I have 5 gallons in a Cornelius keg with some co2 pressure on it, which should help it stay fresh. It will get fizzy on its own, and will become hard cider (or vinegar) if left too long. You can add champagne yeast or organic raisins to it as well to speed along that process (if you want hard cider) especially if you use a carboy with an airlock on it. Thanks for the votes!

Welcome. Can't wait for some posts from you! Outdoors and nature posts are my thing!

Yes, I love how raisins have built in fungi as yeast. :) With raw honey and raisins, I can make mead without added store bought yeast. The results would just be mixed and not as high of alcohol content.

Nice!! I brewed a clone of Troeggs "Mad Elf" a 12% + Belgian ale with 5lbs of honey and 4 or 5 pounds of cherries.....enough wild yeast in that thing to just about blow up the house!! Haha! Never brewed mead, but I used to enjoy it from time to time.....

A new Steemian ^^ hello @justafrood I hope you enjoy your time here, its a great community ! Nice post, wish you much luck! I will follow your account. Don't hesitate to contact or follow me at any time :-) See you around @tradewonk
