Well I've been browsing a day or two now, reading as many posts as I can, finding my way around this new world of Steemit, so I guess it's time for an introduction post.
Hello, I'm Alana.
I'm 28 and I live in Edinburgh, Scotland with my partner, our dog and three hamsters (Euan, George, Rock, Sock and Bret Hamster). I look after dogs for a living and I'm a passionate wrestling fan. I've blogged on and off for years now on a variety of subjects and while I've seen the rise and fall of many sites, I gotta say, I'm excited about this one. After a late night chat with my neighbour, he introduced me to Steemit and while very sceptical at first, after a solid hour or two of reading posts on and about the site, I started to come round.
The earning money part of this site/community does intrigue me but it's not the reason I joined. First and foremost, I'm just here to write. Whatever I want, whatever I feel like. Write, write, write. I've burned myself out from 'regular' blogging and I've been looking for something different to reignite my passion again. I believe Steemit could be just that.
With the option of writing about literally anything, I can't really sit here and tell you what kinds of posts to expect from me. Just know that every so often there will probably be dogs, wrestling related posts, vented frustrations and more than likely something about makeup. Apart from that though the Steemit is my oyster ✌
Hi @aroseforepona Welcome to steemit community. It's very nice to meet you! Hope you enjoy creating content here. Sounds like you have a lot of fun stories to share with us in the future. I'll be looking forward to reading them! Happy steeming!
Hey @damla thank you, nice to meet you too! I'm really looking forward to creating such a wide variety of content, just sometimes struggle with motivation. I'm hoping the fresh start here will encourage me though! crosses fingers

Welcome to Steem @aroseforepona I have sent you a tip
Thank you very much!
Hello and ~smiles fer miles~ @aroseforepona
I'm new @steemit as well and I noticed you upvoted my intro post earlier today...so I've come to return the favor.
steemited oysters...looking forward to the feast ;-)
~may all hatred cease...let there be peace~
Hey! Thanks very much, I really enjoyed your intro post! Looking forward to more posts from yoursel.
Steemited oysters, I like that!
You came to the right place. As a writer and singer-songwriter, I totally feel the online burnout as well. It is so discouraging. Here, people really support each other--in ways even a lot of my friends never did. People here are already connecting with me and sharing my videos, etc. And they are sincere about it!
Really wishing you a nice reboot in your start here. Welcome! Xx, Kay
Hi Kay! Thank you very much for the warm welcome :)
I've noticed that even after only a day or two! Such friendly, helpful souls on here, very thankful for them all!
Really like what you've been posting so I'm now following you, looking forward to reading more! xx
Aw, you're the first person who returned my little kisses! Are you in the UK? That's the only group of people I've seen who use it. I worked with a lot of Brits for a while, and thought it was cute, so I took it on!
You are very welcome, and I REALLY appreciate the kind words.
Aha I am! Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm awful for it sometimes, in the past I've messaged landlords etc and put them in without realising! Sometime elicits an amusing response though! xx
ahahaha. I have had a few occasions where I almost did something equivalent, but luckily caught it in time! Hilarious, especially with people who aren't familiar with it.
I LOVED Edinburgh when I was there a few years ago. You live in a place of magic!
XX :)
Hi Alana! I see you followed me so i thought i would check out your profile! Nice to meet you :)
I live in SA but my neighbour is Scottish, and I just love talking to him, just to listen to his accent!
I've followed you back. If you need help - shout! Not that i know much ahahah :)
Hello! Nice to meet you too :)
Ah wonderful! Which part if you don't mind me asking?
Thank you very much! I certainly will!
Actually before I forget, when you write a post and it gives you the option of upvoting your own post, should you be doing that or turning that off? Like is upvoting your own posts frowned upon? x
I live in Cape Town 😻 Most beautiful city in the country imo!
TBH I am not sure if it's frowned upon, I haven't turned it off, you know, @hannahlicious may be a better person to ask!
I also got a lot of info in the FAQ section, on the #help thread on steemchat (do you have it? It's a great place to meet like minded people and promote your posts), also on discord, I have found a few followers and interesting people who are very helpful!
Let me know if I've helped at all, or if there's anything else 🤘🏽
@aroseforepona i think you are supposed to automatically upvote your own post :) some people upvote their own comments too haha :) not frowned upon x
It's strange! Like, i mean, it's a strange feature to me!!
Thanks for that clarification Hannah! Don't wanna put my foot in it and not realise until it's too late!
Princess! So sorry for the late reply, still trying to get that hang of all this! I haven't even looked into steemchat! Worthwhile? Same as discord, I know so very little :(
