Hi lymorgan, and welcome!

Here's a short and simple reference guide I put together for new Steemit users especially. As you start using the site quite a bit it will help you figure out how it works and answer many of your questions. It's covers the most basic elements of Steemit that everyone here needs to know about - steem, steem dollars, steem power, voting power, followers, vests, witnesses, and more. It also includes links to some very helpful external sites. This is some of what it covers:

• Steemdb (stats)
• Steemd (stats)
• Steemstats
• SteemDollar: your vote's worth - find out how much your vote is worth, based on steem power. H/t to @rymlen
• Steemnow
• Steemitboard - Shows your awards - by @steemitboard

And on steem, steem power and steem dollars:

• Steemit Vlog #4: Steemit 101 - Steem, Steem Dollars, and Steem Power - by @andrarchy.
• Steemit 101 - Steem, Steem Dollars, and Steem Power (YouTube) - by @andrarchy.
• Introduction to Steem Dollars (SBD) -by @dantheman.

Also:

• Understanding post payouts - a video explanation from papa-pepper - by @papa-pepper.
• ❓Answering Common Questions: How do I spend money from my Steemit wallet? by @ sykochica
• Steem-price

I also put together a page with different Christian tags. And here's this page too from @wilx about Christians coming together on Steemit. God bless!
