Hi @iowabuckd and welcome! I wish I had a concise, consolidated nugget I could pass to you that would onboard you quickly, but I don't :( But, no fear! I'm new as well and here are a few things I've done to bump up my knowledge. Read the FAQ in the hamburger dropdown in the upper right corner. Every word of it, it helps! Learn the difference between SBD, Steem and Steem power on DTube (or Youtube if you must). Click on the "other tags" button at the bottom of the popular tags when you are on your feed page. When you get to the tags page, sort the tags by the different categories to get a sense of where the volume of posts are. Keyword search for content you are interested in, follow the people making it and comment generously :) It helps to connect you to other and let people know what you are interested in. I hope you got some value out of my suggestions.
If you find you are getting bored, stop by my page and say hello @danielshortell...I write fiction here. What are you planning to contribute?
Oh, and your snowy weather looks a lot like mine here in Syracuse :)
Thanks for the advice, I think once I get going I plan to contribute on family and parenting as I have a lot of life experiences in these areas. I am excited to see where this goes for me and what value I bring to the community, I want to have a meaningful impact for others here. Weather crazy, almost 80 here today and tomorrow back in 40’s on Thursday.
If my powers of deduction are correct (and my ability to count is still functioning after a long day), I'd venture to guess that you have 7 kids??? Whoa, if yes, you must have some good parenting tips ;)
Yeah, we made 70 here today, back to 30 something tomorrow, crazy.
Seven kids at home, 2 in college, currently 5 teenagers and yes still a full head of hair! What a blessing these children are.
Holy crap, that's amazing man, good work!
