yea steemit needs a better way to find mentions, they get lost a lot. I usually wont see them unless i'm told about it. lol

It can take some time to get established here. I have personally put so much into steemit I can't begin to tell you. If you do put it in, it will come back out though.

If you need anything let me know, I have learned a few tricks and things on here can confuse us at first cause it's all spread out.
