Hello all on steemit

I'm new here and really have no idea what I'm doing. I thought the best way to learn a little more about how all this works is to use it. So yeah I'm writing a blog post. I think.

Down below there is a box I can click to upvote post. I'm not sure why I would upvote my own post or even what upvoting does. But ile click it anyway.

Tags I kind of understand. Ile tag this with "new user".

There is also a link to a markdown styling guide. My brain is about to blow.

markdown stuff

blockquotes
aha, I think I get it, its just like html

Well that's it for my first post. I hope you enjoyed it. Might read me again some time.

Thanks for reading.
