Wow, thanks for all the information! When you say you posted your articles from Steemit to social media, do you mean just literally sharing the url on Facebook? Does that mean that anyone who follows me on Steemit can see my Facebook after that? Just checking to make sure I understand.
And you're right, I do need to source my images! I was quite lost on how to do that, so I resorted to the little disclaimer at the end, which is obviously not really cutting it. I'll have to get onto the chat site eventually, but I so want to hide behind my computer! Not for any nefarious reasons, but because meeting new people in real time is much scarier then meeting them at my own pace!
Thanks for the support and the advice!!
