Welcome to Steemit.com Hive account@synchronicity here are a few tips:

1.) You will get more response if you provide Verification (IE - link here in your article to an offsite verification like a picture of you holding a Steemit sign on your official website, facebook or twitter account, or some other Non-Steemit site you have an account on)
2.) Include pictures and more detail in your post.
3.) Make sure you use proper tags (they can be include in your post using '#crowdfunding' with out the ''s) - those look good though!
4.) Try using the CENTER tags around images to center them on the page.
