@fulltimegeek - Dude, I just want to thank you so much for all the help you have already given me, I appreciate everything that you've done! You have brought me so many new people interested in exactly what I like to post about! One day I'd like to be a Steemit philanthropist like you - giving back to the community by discovering new talented contributomm. In real life I've already brought almost 10 people into the community because I had such a good experience. You sir are a true altruist!
Wow, thanks man ... I do try to support the newcomers on here, especially when they're talented like yourself. Feel free to blog about whatever you want. The most important thing is just engaging your audience.

Holy crap! When I saw the value of that comment I literally spit my drink out! Thank you so much @fulltimegeek!! That is by far the most valuable comment I've ever had, that was so nice of you I really appreciate that :-)! I'm still learning how things work here on the platform but that was amazing. And everyday I talk about steemit with someone at least one person, honestly once you really get into this platform I don't know how you could go through your day and not talk about it with someone LOL... My girlfriend is going crazy with me talking about it so much but she won't understand until she joins... Either the relationship will last or it won't, but I'm so absorbed into the crypto space and steemit at this point that I couldn't turn back if I wanted to. But by a very long shot I have no desire to turn back now :-)!
And I really value what you have told me here, I'm going to do just that and just be myself on this site. I mean even if it isn't originally designed to be a Blog about someone's life why couldn't it be you know. I know this is all a crypto place but when I read people's blogs I look for that personal-touch that makes it less about appealing to the lowest common denominator and more about expression. I don't even care if something is defensive as long as it's an expression and I connect with it. That's all I want out of putting my time into this just to connect with more people and have them connect with me. The feeling and affirmation of expressing your love for life through art is ineffable... Steemit is the first platform I have felt truly at home :-)!
Absolutely! If I didn't think people would be bored or annoyed, I would treat my Steemit account just exactly like I treated my Google+ account. I say that I think they would be annoyed or bored because even though my Facebook is a thousand times more boring, the actual purpose of Facebook is for social media. I would like to use my Steemit account and dTube account as a real blog you know, I just feel like the community is expecting a certain type of material from the community as a whole and there are even greater expectations on the individual as they exist in the Steemit community... If I thought that I could post food recipes one post, and in the next post I talk about video games and show some video game footage of me playing, and the next post would be about fishing and then the next post will be about crypto - if I thought I could do a genuine blog like that / that encompasses all of the things I'm interested in instead of just Crypto, I would do it in a heartbeat! I'm testing the waters right now with non crypto material to see if people will get upset with me for not talking about crypto.
