Hi Kyle, I am new to steemit and have been sad that I didn't receive but a few "Welcome to Steemit" after spending two weeks trying to decide how to present myself and working many hours on art to use in my introduction which I have since removed.

it has taken another week to decide to ignore being ignored and move forward in my desire to share and learn from the Steemit community.

I appreciate your post, it gives me strength. Thank you! What languages do you program in?
