Hey @Stellabelle, Thank you for this post, I joined Steemit today and am glad i went to trending and found this. I think it should be added as part of the orientation material so that the mind set of us newbies is set before we even go too far into steemit, plus I have to confess, I think I was at stage one when i logged into steemit today but I will strive to head over to stage 2 and contribute value to this platform.
