Hey Steemit Family!! What was YOUR 1st blog post you authored on here, and WHY? | E.33 | 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!

My first one was about investing in silver. And why I invest in Silver. It was posted in mid May 2017. Now I have over 200 post and I still don’t know what am doing! Lol. Great post my friend
LOL!!!!
Great reply man.
I think you are a dude anyways.
lol
I am a dude indeed. Thanks lol. Sometimes it’s hard to tell on here but I guess there is one way to find out. Ask :)
I had to UV that comment hahahahaha!
Well thank you good sir. It was a great idea for a post.
Nice. My first blog was about being an over 50 old fogie trying to figure out words like block chain and cryptocurrency. Loving the Steemit adventure so far. Following. Blessings.
I like that honest reply a lot but I am not sure your picture there makes you look anywhere close to 50, we may have to ID you.
I’ll take that as a compliment. Thank you. The pic looks better than me most days lol I’ll post more pics soon. In fact, I’m hoping to branch out to Dtube, too. So much to learn. Blessings ps here is the blog. Enjoy https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@gatorlynne/my-five-minute-life-is-on-steemit-aka-this-over-50-old-fogie-is-trying-something-new-steemin-on
coffee, because i love it.
I refute the entire existence of me having a first blog post or that matter a second one as well. I most definitely had a third one (depending on who you ask).
Somewhere along the way it all went downhill and I lost my sense of humor. I think it was right around that time I meet ionlysaymeep. Perhaps it was when I joined that Steemit cult and went to their weekend campfire—weekend 7.
I’m just thankful I don’t breed CrytoKitties in my basement. That would be very strange I don’t have a basement.
Aaaaand I am now following an "uncomfirmed time traveling cat". This is the dream I never knew I had. I'm not even a cat person!
I’m just glad these humans are buying into my cover story of being unconfirmed!
Great replies as always my man.
I have not seen the Meep in weeks!!!!
I like the Meep.
Nite buddy.
I posted in German saying Love above praise. Because I feel we should always do things out of love and not expect to be praised. Not to mention that is how we accumulate good karma in our lives.

Great reply!
Thank you @barrydutton.
Hey you all, if anyone fooled charisma11, you might want to unfollow my old account @charisma11. @drydoc46 hijacked my account and trasferred funds from my account to theirs. I now have this account @charisma1.
Hey @barrydutton. My first blog post was an introduction post! I floated around for a week or two on the platform to get a feel for it and gain some kind of a following. After that, I posted an introduction post for everyone to get an idea of who I am and what I planned on contributing to Steemit! Cool post, thanks for sharing!
Yes, as we see in my post, I was lost for awhile here LOL
This is awesome. My first post was about how jobs in America are hanging and the coming job crisis. I had just written the blog for my personal blog, but when I found Steemit I decided to try it here. I have not written on my personal blog since. I love Steemit.
Yes, if you are going to be mass surveilled, this is the place to do it, so you can earn something for it LOL
A recipe for Hungarian fried dough similar to beavers tail or bannock
I meant to make my steemit only for my recipe collections, but now it's all over 😁
It is all over for all of us
LOL
I have made bannock in the woods, I have talked about bannock a few times here, not too many know what it is but some do!
I lived in Montreal before, never heard bannock shamefully. Once moved to BC, bannocks everywhere! 😁
