Thanks Frank. I'm also hoping that as steemit grows we will perhaps be able to develop more communities within the community. For example, the cryptos,and gold & silver are strong communities. Maybe car lovers and music people will find steemit in greater numbers.

In any case, one needs a lot of patience in the beginning. I remember some of my early post, on which I worked quite hard, not even passing the double digit cents mark (0.10) -- that was really discouraging. Then a steemit whale happened upon one of my posts, upvoted it very generously and resteemed it. That is amazing the first time it happens to you. But in our newbie situation that's the exception and not the rule. There is an element of luck and serendipity involved.

I'm following you now. I just upvoted your post about a Sunday Walk and nominated it to discordia. Cross your fingers, in a couple of hours you'll find out if your post made it.
