Hello @hopelyntorti, Hope you are enjoying Steemit & Welcome! I too am fairly new, and would love to give you a few different tools and pieces of advice to get you started. There is alot to learn on this platform, though I hope you are already enjoying it.

I find the hardest part of meeting new users is getting in contact, so Unless you use Discord, Telegram, or The Steemit Chat, where my username is all the same there as here, You can feel free to email me at [email protected] anytime. You can also use http://www.yopmail.com/en/ to create a private email to chat with if you prefer.

Hope to hear from you :)
