I do still have the same email address and I tried everything I could for about a year, but at this point I'm just moving forward with my new account. It would be nice to be able to log into my old account, but I dream.

I couldn't agree with you more! I already feel much more comfortable navigating through steemit after talking to Steemians on this comment section -- yourself included!

I really can't wait to start publishing stpries for the freewrite -- it'll be really neat to see where my brain takes me.

Anyway thank you so much for taking the time to share some Steemit knowledge with me!
