Tools and sources for blogging on Steemit - for beginners (myself included)

So before I start posting more in my beloved topic, street art and design, I collected some info how to do it better. Here are the sites I think can help anyone to reach higher ratings here on Steemit. Tell me if I am wrong.

I was searching on the site for hours to collect some tools I found valuable, some people to follow and of course I will offer some good articles from wonderful writers so you can get more insight about quality posts, Steem-Steem Power etc...

You can say not much but it took me hours to read through. You know Steemit grows rapidly and the generated posts are flooding in, hard to select.

I did a long research for many topics, so here I my selection:
