Welcome, Dee!
Along with my fellow #powerhouscreatives welcome to the Steem blockchain. I am not going to add to the already good advice that my fellow steemians have given you except to suggest that you make use of https://steemd.com/@deejonivf and https://steemworld.org/@... as well as well as https://steem.supply/@.... to keep track of your payouts and resource credits (how many votes, comments and posts you can make). It is a little overwhelming to begin with and is a lot like gobbledygook, so be kind to yourself and try not to get too frustrated. I am sure many of the PHC crowd, in addition to @jaynie, myslef included will lend a hand - you will find us on Discord :D
Oh, and on my blog, you will find a relatively recent post about how long it took me to get going ;)
