I don't normally pay attention to the reputation either; except when it is someone who has a VERY low number (below the 25 steemit gives you to start) that can cause red flags and concern to me.

Thank you for resteeming and sharing the post!

Yes, frustration does set in, especially in the beginning, but I think if you do what you love, and want to share the information, eventually it will all come together.

DITTO! I love homesteading!
