Welcome to Steem @davesworld.
Do read A thumb rule for steemit minnows - 50:100:200:25 for starter tips.
Spend time reading Steem Blue Paper to know how Steem blockchian works and if you still have any queries ask them on our Ask me anything about Steemit post and we will try to answer that.
All the Best!!!
Hi @steemladder.
Thanks for the advice. I will go and get a coffee and read those links now. I like that there are others willing to offer a hand up to newbies with help when needed. It can make a big difference to those that don't have much confidence or hesitate because they are scared of inadvertantly breaking the rules.
Cheers!
Dave
