Welcome to the community Gareth. I hope you feel at home here:)
You might get more attention though if you just give some kind of verification because people have sometimes tried to impersonate others on here.
You can either post a photo of yourself holding a sheet of paper with your Steemit name or post a link to your profile here on on of your blogs/other websites whichever you prefer.
All the best!
Good idea

Fantastic. Thank you:)
Not sure how well that really verifies me to be honest, but anyone who knows me knows that account, so it should do :)
No method is perfect or foolproof but it is as good as most others.
