Welcome to the Steem blockchain, @nickdeli! I hope you'll like it here. I linked your intro post to the Welcome Wednesday contest by @sndbox: https://steempeak.com/community/@sndbox/introducing-newcomers-with-welcome-wednesdays-steemonboarding-contest-8
Yes, I know, lots of contests here, but they are a great way to connect with others, and maybe win something.
Have fun exploring the platform! My general recommendations are to find groups who share your interest, and turn your own blogging into a community experience.
