Thanks for the advice! I'm already trying to put my web designing skills to good use. It's something I love (and when it gets frustrating, hate) doing, but I've never actually pulled through with a project.

It is true that Steemit is a wonderful platform, on which you can get followers quickly. It's very easy to help your fellow steemians out, even when they're just beginning. The 'new' tab is such a nice and thoughtful thing :)
