As a welcome basket let me suggest a couple helpful links

Steemit voting stats
http://www.steemdollar.com/dollar_per_vote.php

http://steemvp.com/
On the front page just enter your STEEM account name and you will get all the statistics about who voted for you.

If you like contests and community can I recommend
Hive account@benjojo
Hive account@stargarden
Hive account@johny-clearwater
Hive account@drpuffnstuff
and I too am running a coloring contest if you are interested in that type of thing. Win STEEM whaleshares SD and much more. Hive account@artwatch

I look forward to what you can teach us Hive account@tokerus
I'll end with a joke.
