I haven't listened to Gravel Pit in a loooong time. That was on a mix I had in my snowboarding days. Don't do much rap or hip hop anymore, but this will always make me think of surfing mountains, so thanks for that.

Nice intro to Steemit! I've been thinking about writing one to share with my friends on FB and Twitter, but .... there's a lot to write about. You covered a lot of bases.

I will drop these two resources here, for newbies:

• steemworld.org helps you keep track of voting power and rewards.
• steemd.com is one place to keep an eye on bandwidth, which becomes less of an issue the longer you're on Steemit and the more rewards you've received.

There's a lot to learn. But I think if you get on Steemit and learn something every day, it all falls into place. And, @enginewitty, you nailed it at the end: "Don't forget to be YOU." :)
