Pull Request Submitted - Updated Welcome Page Content

The "Welcome Page" was in need of an update. This is the first page that new users see after creating an account. Currently the page shows them the cool looking "Welcome to Steemit" image, but below was just the table of contents. I thought it would be helpful for new users to have some introductory information below the image, to keep them interested in the page.

Above the TOC, it will read:

This page is full of information to help you learn about the platform and become a successful Steemian. You can return to this page at any time by clicking on the "Welcome" link in the main menu. There is a table of contents below to help you navigate the page.

Included on the page is a "Quick Start Guide" with information on how the platform works, and a "To Do List" with recommended steps to get started with your account.

Below that is a section of "Helpful Posts from Steemit Users", which contains a collection of posts from users in the community that are helpful for new users getting started.

Below that is a list of recommended users to follow, a collection of other resources including the FAQ Page, and information on where to find live help.

In addition to that change, I also made several other edits:

• I added information for how to connect with the Minnow Support Group.
• I removed the reference to Poloniex, so it now just lists BlockTrades and Bittrex as exchanges.
• Removed / updated outdated information.
• Added information for updating the cover image.
• Update the list of "Helpful Posts from Steemit Users".
