Hey guys, help me I'm new

Hey guys. I'm not sure if there are rules on what topics to post here on Steemit, or if this post is even allowed. It's basically a sort of introduction post of myself, slash, a query post on how to do things here, slash, tell me what to do first and stuff like that, slash, fluff post I guess.

I joined Steemit six months ago and I didn't get the gist so I put this in the subconscious part of my mind. I bookmarked this site and came to it just a few hours ago when I was cleaning my bookmarks list. So I clicked on the site, glad that I still have my complicated password saved, and voila, I'm here. 

Just a little intro of me. I have been trying to blog ever since I learned this modern art. It was in 2007 when I first learned about blogging. It was 2009 when I first learned social media through Facebook. I was reading an FHM article and there was this interesting lady I wanted to learn more about, so I created a Facebook account and stalked her. 

I posted a few posts every now and then in several platforms, covering a very wide range of topics. Until I met Bubblews.com in the third quarter of 2013. Bubblews was so good to me at that time in that I was earning around $1 per post. Now that is big for me because I never really earned from blogging or posting on social media. It was my very first experience on the potentials of actually earning money online.

Unfortunately, Bubblews closed down a year later and I never found any website that resembled it. I read about Steemit in some website and it was a good review. But I honestly don't know how things work here. It's talking about Bitcoins and stuff like that, but I'm confused and too complicated for me. I want to learn how to do things here so I guess I will be investing some time and effort to learn how to Steemit.

I hope I will meet people who I could learn from and potentially be friends with, online friends that is. Some kind of friends with benefits, along that line. I'm up for it.
