Thanks for the advice, I'm new here and I must admit I am guilty of a couple of these. I'm certainly going to resteem less often now.
When your new it's a bit , monkey see monkey do. So it's good to see posts like this and set good examples.

I have mentioned I will follow people but generally only when they have said there will be a series of posts and I want to look out for the rest.
I wanted to let them know they earned the follow. I wasn't expecting a follow in return.
Anyway , thanks again for the good advice.
