Welcome to Steemit epicjimmy5. Let me know if you got any questions about Steem/Steemit. The official FAQ can be found here and is quite extensive https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also, Steemit is just one of the sites using Steem the blockchain. We also have Dtube, Dsound and Steepshot if you prefer videos,music or pictures instead of blogging content. And many more of course!
Thanks! I will be sure to ask if I need any help! I've been getting into D.Tube currently and I have been looking at Steepshot for a while :)
I can also recommend Utopian and Busy.
