Hello @gene1402, Welcome to steemit,
There are a lot of apps and site based on Steem. Try to look for some that really seem interesting to you and try to stick to it, If you have some questions, feel free to contact me here in steemit or discord.
I almost forgot @shikika made an initiative to welcome newbies like you, so I shared your intro to her post.
