Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at [https://www.steemiandir.com](https://www.steemiandir.com/) I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Congratulations @nickogibson!

Welcome to Steemit nickogibson. The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html  - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. You should also check out DTube and DSound for starters and if you're a gamer, Splinterlands! There are many other cool apps but I can't list them all here, there's just too many! But I'd also like to mention Steempeak, it's a better blogging platform that has a lot of cool features. The latest project you should also check as a new member is a palnet! Welcome to the blockchain! :) Oh, and if you're interested in creating your own tokens or smart contracts, check Steem engine!

Hi, welcome to SteemIt. Good luck on your Steem journey and I wish you the best. I've been here since 2016 but it was only last month when I fully committed to take Steem seriously. 
Please have a read about my **[STEEMJOURNEY](https://steempeak.com/@kapengbarako?filter=steemjourney)**.

Here are also some tools that I use and I hope you can find them useful too:
1. Use **[Partiko App](https://partiko.app/referral/kapengbarako)** from your mobile phone to post to your blog, comment, and upvote content in SteemIt to earn points which you can use to boost your own content.
2. If you’re into games, you may wanna try playing **[Steem Monsters](https://steemmonsters.com/?ref=kapengbarako)**, a blockchain game based on Steem. If lets you compete with other players around the world with creature cards which you can sell and/or convert to crypto.
3. Get rewarded for staying fit and healthy with **[ActiFit](https://actifit.io/signup?referrer=kapengbarako)**  - a Steem-based app which rewards you with tokens (which you can eventually use to boost your content) for being physically active.
4. Invest your Steem Power at **[Smart Steem](https://smartsteem.com/?r=kapengbarako)** and get daily rewards and earn more Steem
5. Exchange votes with other users with **[SteemEngine.Net](https://steemengine.net/join?r=5604)**
6. **[eSteem](https://esteem.app/)** and **[Steempeak](https://steempeak.com/)** both offer an intuitive way of using Steem, enhancing your user experience.

If you need help, I am just a message away.

Cheers
Neil
