Hey Steemit Family!! What was YOUR 1st blog post you authored on here, and WHY? | E.37 | 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 -
-- 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 post in steemit other than my introduceyourself post, was a guitar cover video of Jason Becker if i remember well... I remember doing 2 introduceyurself posts because i used the tag wrong the first time and could not edit it... Talking about this, i wish steemit would have a better way to safe old posts, scrolling down 8 months of posts is simply too dificult, it would take me like 1 hour to find those old posts LOL...
Thanks for dropping by.... I UV your comment last nite as I headed offline!
Thanks also for the comments about the spam on the other post.
Well and for your platform ideas, drop them on my next edition in a few days of my
#SteemitNeeds series!
I have well over 2000 blog posts up so I know what you are meaning LOL
My first post ever was about TIPSHARE in restaurants since I am a server by trade.
https://steemit.com/tipping/@hotsauceislethal/a-word-about-tipshare
I made NOTHING on it but the idea of Steemit is something that really intrigued me. I came back and started talking about my TRUE passion after that- all about CRYPTO!
Great stuff buddy!!!!!
UV your comment!
Thanks for dropping by man.
My First post on steemit was in the beginning of june 2017 on facial mapping. I was and still am very interested in how emotional and physical stress manifest. As far as acne patterns your face is "zoned" so say if you only got acne on a certain area of your face (jawline) can be indicative of various ailments to include but not limited to malnutrition even. Recently I wad thinking of revamping my first post as I know more about it now. =)
I have not heard from you in days, I was going to check on you via a post, with all the guys DM'g you chat on it we talked about LOL, I am glad to see your name here Chels.
Late for me everyone, I have to get offline!!!
Long week of dealing with injury lawyers and politics. Nite Chels and everyone.
It's been a really busy week sorry. :/
I understand, I was just hoping you were OK.
Thanks for dropping in again...
UV your comment and some blogs last nite as I got offline.
Apart from my introductory post, my first real blog post was "How Teaching English Online Provides My $1000 P/M Crypto Investment".
https://steemit.com/crypto/@stansolo/how-teaching-english-online-provides-my-usd1000-p-m-crypto-investment
I am new here so I haven't seen much interaction on the post yet but I hope that it was helpful to those who did see it.
Cheers!
Thanks for dropping by.... I UV your comment last nite as I headed offline!
Thank you. It's much appreciated!
My first post here on steemit was regarding airdrops. I had learned about that term very recently then. I was very fascinated and thought of having a lot of comments. I had my expectations set by looking at the trending posts feed.
Slowly I realised that quality of your post has to be much much much higher to earn big rewards. I hardly got any up-votes then. Lol
Solid advice today for people reading BB!
Thanks for dropping by.... I UV your comment!
my first post was about a watershed that happened in my city on the day before i knew the platform.

My first steemit blog post was of course introducing myself.

My first post was my introduce-yourself-post. Besides that, I did one of a road trip with my friends that got us discovering 4 waterfalls in one place 🤗
