RE: Womb Centered Healing

You've been visited by @nateonsteemit on behalf of the Homesteaders Co-op!

What a great intro! Our founder, @sagescrub has delegated 30 SP to you from our community account here, in hopes that it'll alleviate any Mana/Resource Credit issues you may experience. You've also been added to our auto voter so you'll automatically get support from our community on a daily post we're hoping it can help you grow and succeed here. Steem is a great alternative social media platform, I hope you'll like it. I look forward to reading more about your journey! Here's some information that we give to all the new folks we can find. Hope it is helpful:

Welcome to steem :) We're very glad you're here, and I hope you can dig yourself in and get pretty well established here! You'll find there's a good group of folks here with homesteading and sustainability on their mind. Not the least of which are @sagescrub (creator of @homesteaderscoop), @riverflows (creator of @naturalmedicine), @pennsif (creator of @altlife, the alternative lifestyle show for homesteaders), and @freedomtowrite and @freedompoint (creators of @ghscollective). Those are the ones driving the sustainability bus on steem. Lots of others like @porters, @walkerland, @mountainjewel, @sustainablelivin (@mariannewest's profile for her Sustainable Living Podcast), @squishysquid, @goat-girlz, @senorcoconut, @vanessamidwife, @ppmsilver, @allyinspirit, @makinstuff, @simplymike, @craigcryptoking, @buckaroo, @papa-pepper, @wildhomesteading, and many many more are the ones in the community making it such a great group to be with. They're all well worth a follow. For a more complete list, @pennsif has compiled a directory of active steemian homesteaders that can be accessed HERE and is a great way to network and find Homesteaders near you if they're on here.

Most communities on steem currently meet on discord, so that's a really handy app for steemians looking to get into the swing of things. It offers a simple, user-friendly messaging place where we can all talk and keep up off chain. There are hopeful developments coming for on-chain options, but those are probably a few forks away. You'll learn about hard forks as you grow on the chain a bit. Til then, our three main groups are Homesteaders Co-op, Natural Medicine, and Global Homesteading Collective. The Homesteaders Co-op website is a marketplace built by @sagescrub where we are able to buy and sell sustainably produced goods using STEEM, SBD, and USD as well as gift and barter economics. It's the first marketplace of it's kind, and we're all quite excited about it.

A great tool for steem interaction is @ginabot. A splendid notification service that works through discord to let you know about steem interactions on chain. She'll let you know when you're mentioned, when people send you money, when certain folks make a post, or when posts are made with your favorite tags. Very very helpful, and I think most steemians use Gina.

One thing you'll find is that there are a lot of interfaces with the steem blockchain. There's steemit.com, busy.org, steempeak.com, partiko.app, d.tube, and many others that all boast different features and benefits. In any steem link, you can change out those sites and get the same post in different formats depending on your preferred interface. I prefer SteeemPeak and Partiko, but it's a fun learning experience to try a few for yourself, as the Steemit interface is a very basic interface that leaves much to be desired. Thats an intentional situation though, as Steemit Inc (Stinc) has bigger things to worry about.

I hope this little introduction can help you a bit. Things like this weren't being done much during the hectic time when I joined steem. As changes have been made to the chain and how it works, this kind of thing has become very important to help people stay engaged on the platform. With the price of steem being down (you'll find nobody cares terribly much about that), things have calmed down and many of the spammers and uninterested parties have gone inactive. As have many other good people, but (in general) the people you encounter here are the ones that truly desire to be here and see promise in the platform. We're here for the long haul, and we hope you find value here as well. :)

Welcome,

Nate and the whole sustainability community of steem.

Ooh, and don't forget to use all five tags! It'll help get more publicity by helping more people see your posts. As you learn, you'll find the more popular tags that are applicable to you.

Thank you for the support. I am not sure what all of this all means and how steem works yet, but grateful for the welcome and generosity.

It's a lot to learn for sure, but you'll get there, trust me!

Do you have any specific questions? I'm more than glad to help.

I noticed you're already on the NM discord, which is really awesome, I was excited to see you join.

I am actually needing help with SteemConnect which I gather is a somewhat necessary additional app to use all the things steemit has to offer. However, no matter how I try to login after signing up, it won't acvept any of my keys. It says they are invalid, but I copied and pasted directly from my key page. Is there any way you know of to get help with this?

Oh yes, you're probably not properly revealing your keys.

When you go to view your keys in your steemit wallet, the key is not the one that's shown. There's a button below what's shown that says "show private key." When you click that, it will show your actual key.

I did notice that and I tried to use the private posting key to sign in to steemconnect but it didn't work. None of my private keys seem to work on Steemconnect. They work for signing into Steemit and my wallet. Any thoughts @nateonsteemit?
