Glad to have you on board!

As far as what witness to vote for, there are a bunch of good witnesses. However, I have had some witnesses rub me the wrong way and I have discovered that some have been deceitful. One witness that seems to be a all around good guy is @timcliff. He was especially helpful to me when another witness was flat-out mean to me. @timcliff also hangs out on the steem.chat #help page and is like a 1-man band helping people with Steemit issues. Another witness is @r351574nc3. I voted for him because was able to meet him and know that he spent a ton of money on his witness server. He is not a top witness making tons of money as a witness. I don't think he will ever pay off that computer. It is great for the community and really shows his dedication and I trust him.
