Hey Steemit Family!! What was YOUR 1st blog post you authored on here, and WHY? | E.32 | Post it!! | Community Engagement Series.
My 1st ever blog post & the FUN / Liberty based backstory is here for you below.
It was on Bushcraft / Self Reliance & Off Grid life and interests for me. It was posted on Sept. 23, 2016, about 6 weeks after I signed up LOL.
I did not feel comfortable here, everything was so new, I did not know how to format ANYTHING, and I was feeling my way out around this new place, so yes, I relate to new people -- and remember that DAILY in my posts, series I run, and replies.
That's the TLDR version, if you want the longer story, keep reading or just skip to the comments and let us know here your first blog and why you posted it!
And I want to see your first one that you authored on here, and WHY you chose that topic!
Some of my Backstory for you:
--
As I just mentioned above in brief, I was not comfortable MAKING a blog post with everyone on here knowing blogging, formatting, making their posts look pretty, I basically joined Steemit the first week of August 2016 -- August is my birthday month so I will always remember that. I believe it might have been August 7th, as some others have now posted their milestones and official "Steemit joining anniversary" dates and I was named in some of them - showing August 7th.
I spent the first weeks here reading and commenting on posts.
A LOT.
I have always said I am not a blogger.... I am just a guy that blogs.
-- And there is a big difference.
I kind of fell into this due to my pursuit of Liberty.
Crypto/Bitcoin/CryptoCurrency/Blockchain is all a part of that journey.
I've always been an activist type person and like helping people, and informing them of things going on in the world that affects them.
I guess all my public activism for years as such, the run for City Council to actually challenge the corrupt establishment and help people.... led me to the research, speeches in public forums, publishing of videos over the years on these things, along with running my Real Estate business, and constantly posting on Social Media like Fascistbook etc - to try and make a difference for humanity.
It eventually over the years led me into the Off Grid / Bushcraft / Outdoors community as I had always had an interest in it, am a bit of a hippy by most standards with my daily beliefs and practices in life for the world around me, the environment, and using sustainable / best practices in my life and belief systems.
My first post ever @Steemit post - the main picture/graphic - and link to it in late Sept. / 2017:

--
Why did I pick this topic?
--
Because I want to live a more self reliant lifestyle. I do not believe everyone should be forced to remain connected to the Matrix and the Grid by the government by force, manufactured and uninformed consent, and coercion if they don't want to be.
I desire to lead a simpler life than we are conditioned daily by media and the agencies to think we need.
Being able to live simply yet well, is something attainable
Primitive skills of self reliance are completely being lost for homesteading / off grid life if you wish to live that way and be connected to the simple, more primitive life and forced to remain connected... to The Grid.
How did my idea for this new series come about?
--
I was talking a lot one day around March of 2016 with the wordsmith @dwinblood who is a very sharp and engaged guy about some of this.
As usual, when I am online or offline, my mind continues to work on ideas to build community, try different things, and I came up with this idea later to do this
"get to know your neighbour" series...
LOL.
It also serves as a regular reminder / library for people to use to find their FIRST POST which is always special. Some of the series I do, like the STEEMIT NEEDS series - also serves this purpose.
An archive you can always come back to, or someone else can, to find something in particular.
E.2 of this series was posted a long time ago!!! March of 2017 - nearly 5 mths ago, I have quite a few things I work on and they get buried at times, oopsy. (:
I think it is unique and functional! That's why I have come up with a few different series' that I run weekly!!!
I am excited actually to do it so I can engage more with you, as a community and resident on Steemit -- and learn more about you!
The first post you gingerly step out and do on here, as a Minnow, likely says something important about you and I want to listen to you, and learn WHY you chose that topic!
I had an hour's worth of comments typed back and forth with @dwinblood over the March 5th and 6th 2017 period.
One comment that led me to start thinking about doing this series can actually be found right here on our friend @thecryptofiend's post about a topic I focus on regularly and had talked with him on this the night before he made this post:
ENGAGEMENT COUNTS IN ANY COMMUNITY!

Naturally introducing part as steem fast @barrydutton
My first blog post in steemit is about Autism as I felt it is a good topic where parents or teachers with children having this special needs can be more understanding to them.
https://steemit.com/autism/@fun2learn/i-am-special-understanding-autism
Greetings!
My first blog post was "CALLING ALL EXPERTS!"
I wanted to create a blog where experts and newbies can network and share ideas and learn from each other. If you have the time drop some knowledge!
To infinity and beyond
~KweenDivine
You are deep into steem :"> Keep it up man
My first approach to Steem by @davidke20 and been guided to make a first post “introduceyourself” which i find is reasonable to introduce ourself when we just jump into something new.
😎I’m not a blogger too, i agreed that we need our life simple and fullfill our daily life with our passion and able to share in Steemit 💪
My first blog was about my trip to Mexico I had last summer, and I'm still blogging about it. I'm pretty new here! Also new to blogging in general. Love the community though!!!!!
My first post was an introduceyourself, but that doesn't really count.
After that, I wrote a piece I titled The Brave New Internet, where I lay out some of what I've learned about where the internet seems to be headed with technologies in the cryptosphere. Steemit seemed like the perfect place to do a bit of brain dumping, both for my own benefit and for anyone who happens to read it.
Also, I see that you're into hammocks :)
They all count man LOL
yes, last year i slept about 300 nights in a hammock.
Woah, nice! I got the DIY bug a while back and whipped up a hammock/tarp/bug net on mom's sewing machine, but I'm not logging anywhere near that many nights a year.
Do you have any posts on your set up I can check out?
Interesting you should post this as I was just thinking about this. My first blog was within days of getting my account which was June 2cd. What a great 6+ mos it has been! My first post was on facial mapping so one could determine the cause of why they break out in certain areas of their face (I.e. chin, jawline, cheeks, nose etc)
Why you break out in specific regions can be indicative of a health condition. I was recently considering a revamp of that post because I know more about it now.
That is a really good idea for a post --- I encourage the update because I think you are right on this and esp.since you have learned more like you said.
I am doing the latest series on this post if you have done it --- drop it to me on a reply anywhere this week and remind me.
I will not consider it spammy and you can wait til the next #Steemu edition if you want!
Have a good night my friend.
Thanks for the comment & I shall do so. I'm glad ya wouldn't consider it spammy because, I am anti spam all the way! Lol
You have a good night as well
