Welcome to Steemit @chrisaaron.
Steemit is in it's Beta stadium. A lot of miracles seem to provoke you. You will earn STEEM if you produce unique content (authoring), write comments (interaction) and making friends (followers). Very Important: Vote! Around 40 times of voting within 24 hours is the limit. Then your voting power decreases. And don't forget to resteem to show your followers what you like very much.The number of your recent votes is shown here. Just put in your avatar's name in the upper left field and wait until the red countdown in the upper right is ready.
If you need help, please feel free to ask. Steemians always helping each other. Before you ask it's better to look up in the Steemit Help Net. And visit the official Steemit Welcome Page as well, where you will find all informations and a lot of links around Steemit.
Use this Steemit FAQ as well. It is a very helpful collection. Steemit development is in Beta stage. Some things may seem to be strange. Just ask!
For editors it is better to use the Markdown Styling Guide. It is an important source when you want to work in an editor without any icons. Below of every editors frame (comments and postings) you will get the Preview of your work.
Including Images in your post works perfectly. You can do it in several ways, as described in the image help.
For sophisticated alignments read my article about alignment in the editor.
@afrog - you're freakin' AWESOME!
Thank you. @merej99. Just helping beginners. That's what I've missed when I began in Dezember.
Check this out, you can win Steem and trail coins for welcoming new Steemians, it is a nice post hard fork project
Thank you for the hint, @ogochukwu. I welcome newbies since weeks with my help hints. It is my way to help the community and give back a little bit, what I recieve here day by day. And I know what it means to be a newbie. I entered in Dezember and did a lot of things wrong until a guild catched me.
I've read about your contest before but I scratched it because I was guided to this speakers corner where I have to use a headset. i don't use a headset. Anyway. I voted up and resteemed. Hope this will fit to take part in this contest.

Thanks for the info. It can be a bit daunting at first (even for a computer nerd like me), so I appreciate you sharing the guide with me.
You are welcome @chrisaaron. Gather STEEM-Power!
