Well done. You are off to a good start. ;-)

When looking at building websites, you can look at places like template monster to get ideas of how to do things.

There are plenty of free templates you can download and look at the code to see how someone did a certain thing, and then try to so it yourself.

That's how I learned a bunch of what I know. :-)

Once your site has progressed a little more and you feel you are ready, let me know and I can try to help you include your Steemit blog into your site ;-)
