List of Guides to Beginners and YAY to my 700+ Followers!

Hello Steemians! Hooray!... I mark my 700+ followers milestone achievements after 3 months here. My million zillion thanks to all my Steemian friends that are following me. You are the reason I stayed on and happy to keep on steeming together. I really wish I would have sent a thank you note to every and each one of you but time is an essence that made us unable to do so, realistically. Just please please know that I appreciate each one of you and will follow back anyone who follows me. I got your back and you got mine. As long as you stand by me, I will always stand by you. But if you unfollow me, I will also unfollow you. This one rule I promise to hold on to. Another one of my promises is I will upvote anyone who leaves good comments on my posts. My current upvote value is 0.02 (depending on my current voting power). And I will ensure that I respond to all comments on my posts. That's my promise.

Aside from my milestone achievements, I have listed down below a guide to newbies, hope you can benefit from them. Keep steeming together 'A Family that Steem Together, Stays Together.'
