RE: The long and winding road to Steemit. This is the Hello post that has the picture of 2 green budgerigars!
Welcome to steemit @garyharvey - I hope you have an enjoyable time!!! Please feel free to follow me as I share stories of weightloss and farming. Also You may want to check out @kiwideb as she is into natural health also!
Hi Andy.
It is Andy, isn't it?
So you're a Kiwi. We lived in Auckland and Wellington for 7 years last century. That makes us sound really ancient but it was back in the 1970s. Love EnZed and we were back there last year for a reunion with other couples also married in the 70s.
Cute piggy photo!
And I will be following you as soon as I figure out how to do that. And the same goes for your friend Deb. Can you enlighten me about how to follow here? Please. I know how to follow on Facebook, but FB doesn't pay you to write so I know Steemit is going to grow, grow, grow as the word gets out.

Hi again Gary - Yes it's Andrea or Andy :) I was born in Wellington but have lived all around the North Island - now I'm rural small town. If you click on @andysantics48 it takes you to my page. In the top right corner there's a button which says follow - click the button simple as that :) So that you don't get into trouble while you're learning the ropes @kiwideb has a blue box at the bottom of her posts which gives you an idea of the basic do's and don'ts on steemit :) hope this helps. Feel free to leave comments on peoples posts but if you do be sure to upvote as well - that's the first thing I learned.
Thanks Andy. As it happened, I stumbled across that 'Follow' button shortly after asking you. It's kind of you to respond as you did, thank you.
May I ask one more question. You noticed my comment quite quickly. Does Steemit notify you of replies to comments you've posted? I haven't found that yet. Or were you just on the ball? - probably.
Good point about upvoting the posts that I comment on. Haven't always been doing that. Appreciated!
I'm off to read Deb's pointers.
Gary
You may ask anything you like - I had Deb (she's my sister) to help me when I first started - she's been here a long time so she knows her stuff - Most people aren't that lucky and as you say stumble around blindly. Ok so at the top right again where your face is - click there and you will see feed - that's where the posts that people you follow are. Then there's blog - that's your stuff - then there's comments and replies - comments is what you say and replies are when someone answers :) hope that helps
