Hello! Welcome to Steemit.

In order to prevent identity theft, identity deception of all types, and content theft we like to encourage users that have an online identity, post for a website or blog, are creators of art and celebrities of all notoriety to verify themselves. Verified users tend to receive a better reception from the community.

Any reasonable verification method is accepted. Examples include:

• A post or tweet on an established facebook, twitter, Instagram or other social media account with a link to your contribution on Steemit.
• A reference to their Steemit account on their website or blog.

Thank you!
