It's good to know that you are still around and kicking, despite the personal problems. Congrats on getting the DSLR and audio recorder! Thanks for checking in with #steemitbloggers, for we have definitely missed your being around!

Just an idea... if you posted your blog to both Steemit and your personal site, you could monetize your writing here while satisfying your fanbase there. Just BE SURE to make a note in your Steemit post that the information is being simultaneously posted to your personal website, lest the Cheetah-bot thinks you have plagiarized your own work.

Also, if your personal blog happens to be hosted on WordPress, there is a new plugin (which you can install on WordPress) that will publish your blog to Steemit, automatically, each time you update your Wordpress blog! Details can be found in this Steemit post.
