The Re-introduce Yourself Post - Hello Steemians!

I never read the proper instructions for writing the introduceyourself post, and perhaps if I had ticked all the boxes and put in the obligatory photo of my mugshot holding up a handwritten sign my Steemit journey might have been a little bit more smooth sailing... my views about 'identity' on Steemit probably explains better so you can read about it here:

This post is not about using the introduceyourself tag to undo the mistakes of the past, but I am sure there are many of you that want to write another post now that you are a little bit older and wiser on Steemit, and now when you are being introduced or introducing yourself to other people, that original post seems a little bit inadequate. And if you don't believe me, this is was my rather half-hearted and feeble attempt at it:

So this is my #hello-steemians post, which gives you a brief summary about me as a Steemian, what I do and what I believe in so you can get a better idea about me both as someone from the outside world, but more importantly it gives you a much better understanding of me in Steemitopia.

WHO AM I?
Like many people who started out on Steemit, I brought my interests and skills from the outside world into this community that welcomed me with open arms.

An origamist:

Not only do I want to say hi to all the new and old steemians out there, I also want to introduce you to some of the people that I think are making a big difference to steemit (and maybe you'd like to write a #hello-steemian post too?):

• @davemccoy for his great community building and newcomers nuturing work (and I hope to work with further)
• @mudcat36 for showing us that there is more to community building than posting, and the power of face-to-face connections
• @carrieallen and @chrisroberts for spreading the joy of language and writing to other steemians
• @ginabot for being one of the very few bots that everyone loves by making our life that much easier
• @pennsif for taking #steemiteducation out into the real world
• @karenmckersie for her #popcontests and just being such a nice person in the nicest sense of the word :)
• @paulag for #blockchainbi and making data an important topic of conversation on steemit
• @remuslord for sharing an interest in visualizing the steem blockchain in new ways!
• @fabien for his support of my efforts, and his contribution to @utopian-io
• @jefpatat for making the steemmakers happen so we can reward the makers and diy-ers on steemit
• @ausbitbank and @choogirl for their work for#teamaustralia (and everywhere else in the world)
• @surpassinggoogle for being himself and bringing the light of steemit to all corners of the world and @artaddict for her great work on @steemgigs

And to all the artists (this list is simply too long), photographers (also very long list), linguists (the #polyglot tag is there for you) and all the people that have spend their time producing quality contents, I am working hard on the problem of how to make steemit work for you.

I believe that if we spent more time to reach out and connect with each other, it will only be a matter of time before we will all help #makesteemitgreat-again!

So now that you are a little bit older and wiser, I hope that it is time for a #hello-steemians post to tell us about yourself as a Steemian!
