Trying out Steem

in #introduceyourself • 5 years ago

So I'm still new to this Steem thing, but I wanted to have some kind of a blogging platform, and I figured it would be a good idea to at least try and find one that's not big on censorship like Google and a bunch of other companies seem to be of late.

I did a degree in computer science but I'm struggling to find gainful employment in that field, so lately what I do is independent game development projects and research, which is what I'm planning on using this blog space for, so Godwilling you'll see some cool stuff from me soon. I have something in the pipeline already actually, but I'll leave that as a surprise.

If you'd like you can also follow me on my sole remaining social media platform, Mastodon. At time of writing I operate out of social.linux.pizza @swashberry.

            Hi, welcome to SteemIt. Good luck on your Steem journey and I wish you the best. I've been here since 2016 but it was only last month when I fully committed to take Steem seriously.
            Please have a read about my STEEMJOURNEY.

            Here are also some tools that I use and I hope you can find them useful too:

            1. Use Partiko App from your mobile phone to post to your blog, comment, and upvote content in SteemIt to earn points which you can use to boost your own content.
            2. If you’re into games, you may wanna try playing Steem Monsters, a blockchain game based on Steem. If lets you compete with other players around the world with creature cards which you can sell and/or convert to crypto.
            3. Get rewarded for staying fit and healthy with ActiFit - a Steem-based app which rewards you with tokens (which you can eventually use to boost your content) for being physically active.
            4. Invest your Steem Power at Smart Steem and get daily rewards and earn more Steem
            5. Earn rewards by sharing links to interesting webpages through DLike
            6. Exchange votes with other users with SteemEngine.Net
            7. eSteem and Steempeak both offer an intuitive way of using Steem, enhancing your user experience.

            If you need help, I am just a message away.

            Cheers
            Neil
