I think this is a really great post, too! You've really put a lot of nice information and resources together for people who are new to Steemit and who might be struggling with the platform. I agree with your three Cs as well. I have been writing on Steemit for about two months now, and like you, I have started from scratch. I'm very happy with the progress that I have made, but I have spent most of my time on creating content and doing curating. My time for commenting has been scarce and because of that, I feel like I haven't become quite as connected to the community here as many others seem to have become. That is an area I am going to work on.

Again, nice post! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
