One week after steeming
![Image of ChineseSteamedBread](https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8882/28479828681_952ab16257_k_d.jpg)

I heard about Steem from a friend of mine when we were exchanging emails about crypto currencies and started using Steemit around one week ago on 19th July. I made 7 posts, some got votes and now I have $0.873 Steem dollars in my wallet ;)

Here I write about my impression of Steemit. Overall it’s quite positive. I enjoy using it. 

I decided to write a post a day as I’m in half vacation now. After the first few days, I made another rule that I spend maximum 1-2 hours a day, as I was quite addicted to check how many votes my posts got, how much value they have, what kind of posts are on the trend list etc. I also enjoy crawling Steemit and reading others’ posts. It’s a bit like the time I started blogging or even building my own website in late 90s to early 2000s, good old time.

What would be nice to be improved is some minor function around the blog editor. I’m now using Flickr to upload images and link to them from my posts. It would be nice there is a built-in image uploader. It’s also related to image uploading, I think styling with Markdown can be difficult for some non-techies such as my mother. Sometimes I saw a rich text editor on Steemit. So I wish it comes back soon with some more convenient functions. And last but not least, I need “save as a draft”!

I didn’t earn as much as I do as a professional writer (yet … ?). But anyway I was writing something on my Tumblr before and I have nothing to loose. Also I’m happy to receive small rewards without a sense of guilt not like writing blog posts to earn from affiliate or contributing to pyramid scheme-ish “invite your friends and get points” system.

So I continue writing & reading on Steemit.

Greetings :) I think your suggestions are very accurate. I upload images on www.steemimg.com and that could make possible built-in upload to be  implemented on steemit.com ... also according to the searched quick viral effect, I need to see number of reads. Not only vote-ups. I read posts after the 24 hours period of activity.  Some texts are good even after this period :)
