These questions and many more are answered on a site called [SteemitHelp.net](https://www.steemithelp.net/).

## <center>How To Behave On Steemit</center> ##

**The first thing you should read is the [section on etiquette](https://www.steemithelp.net/#/etiquette/).**  I mention this first because it is so important when joining a new community that you have a good reputation. This is very is very important in this social context where people get an impression of you only by how you conduct yourself online. You may unknowingly be hurting yourself if you're unaware of the guidelines we follow here.

Here are a few key things listed in that section of the site.
