Hi.. First of all I would like to thank you for creating such a contest for newbies like me. It gives us a warm welcome feeling, and goes a long way!

Secondly, on the same line, I feel that the newbies need more of human touch at the start. The links and all are shared by a lot of bots as well. So considering that, I have been trying to welcome people like me to the platform by actually reading their introductions and by posting something more encouraging and human.

A few introductions where I have welcomed newbies like me are...

And so on... Not sure if you agree or find this approach useful. However, I'll continue making friends here. :)

Thanks you my friend. I have upvoted you 100%.
