Well @sweetpea, I think you're gorgeous, but who's that blonde on the left? LOL
Welcome to Steemit! Don't worry about the cryptocurrency, blockchain, hardfork stuff just yet. Just get to writing and sharing what you love and those things will come. There are a lot of very helpful people on the platform. I also highly recommend visiting http://steem.chat and saying hello to some active users. There are several channels to choose from. And if you really want to go wild and crazy, take a peek at https://v2.steemviz.com/ - it's a lot of eye candy, but you can see the activity on Steemit in real time and catch some really interesting articles and upvote trends. Great for curation. Good luck! :)
