Hard work is a lot easier with coffee and cigars! So glad I'm not the only morning cigar and Steem commentator on the platform, @jwolf... (My current favorite is the Oliva Series G Toro.)

Although I just produced my first post last night (mistake posting at midnight - lol) I have spent my first two weeks finding authors I enjoy and am interested in (yes, you're one) and attempting to provide meaningful responses to their content.

I think his helped me to answer a lot of my own questions (what do people like, what make a post successful, what kind of format/style should I use), and has offered me perspective that simply posting all kinds of stuff on my blog wouldn't necessarily teach me right away.

By spending hours each day, sifting through posts, commenting, and reading the many replies back that I receive, I believe I'm building a base, and a brand, from which future success can be launched.

Thanks for today's post. I look forward to reading - and learning - more from you soon. Cheers!
