Hi, I think there is a bit an answer to your Fifth Thing. @steemengineteam have a site https://steemengine.net/join?r=3713 where new steemit user can easily gain followers and some upvotes... hope any minnows may find it helpful too as it helps Me...
Thank you for letting us know about it @ladytsfrancine this would be a great help for new user like me
Nice. Didn't know about that :-)
and I strongly agree to your First Thing... it would be better if we have that Direct Message to communicate privately with other users
