Welcome to steemit! I've only been posting here for about a month and I've found some really helpful people here! IN fact, I am in a group called @helpie and any of us would be happy to give advice or motivation anytime, so let us know! About the pictures and formatting, here's a really helpful post from my friend, Carrie! She's the best! Good luck with steemit and I hope you have fun! I was a mass comm major myself but emphasis was photography instead of journalism or radio . But now I'm a stay at home mommy, happy as i can be! : ) Funny how life turns out sometimes.
Anyway, here is that link! Take care!
