Steemit Tutorial Series for beginners #1 - Registering an Account and some FAQ
1. Introduction and preview
In this tutorial series I would like to support new users to get started on steemit.com according to the current state of affairs.
I'm assuming that who found this article here, also knows what platform it is at steemit.com. If this is not the case, this Wikipedia article will help you.
The tutorial series begins compulsorily with the registration and some general questions. Then we will go over to the structure of the website. After that I will show you how to manage your personal profile and how to upload the profile picture and a cover image. It's a bit tricky. In connection we will get to know the wallet before it gets right to the point with the topic of security and the different keys (public keys and private keys).
But this is enough for now because too much information at once only cause confusion and are rather counterproductive.

Now it is time to wait until the processing is completed. This can take between 1 and 7 days. Depending on how big the onslaught is right now. The processing is not automatic and therefore it takes some time. Usually the account should be confirmed after 1 or 2 days.
