The community in your mind is the same one that is in my mind @papa-pepper.
This method can only be a real win-win for everyone.
Since I've never blogged before steemit I approached from a different tact. I familiarized myself with steemit by reading lots and lots of posts, finding quality content and then upvoting and commenting.
Steeming along like I had good sense, one day, I discovered powering up (Perhaps from you @papa-pepper, I don't really remember) and how it is like investing in the company.
Bam, I was on it, I am all powered up, so now my vote is worth a little more. Which is way cool.
Now that I have my bearings I will start posting my own valued original content in the coming days.
Thanks for providing food for thought and positive direction for our community.
