@mrblock, oh yes this platform has a massive learning curve! I myself use Steemd.com & Steemstats.com every time I log in to Steemit. Once you know the rules, should blogging be easy and profits maximized. Still struggling and learning all the rules myself!
Now the next step should be to build up followers that actually interact with your posts. Those that actually use one of the 11 or 20 votes they have per day, not to run the voting power down too much. How do you do that? That's the million Steem question... @darnscotty
