Hi @chanceler, to follow someone on steemit you hit the down arrow next to there name and a small window will open with three options. The first one is profile and if you click on it, it goes to there profile page. Next to profile is the follow option, hit on that to follow someone. Next to that is the unfollow button. You can also follow someone if your on their homepage at the top right corner next to their account name.

Thanks for the comment! Thanks for mentioning the #doublehelix.
