Welcome to SteemIt! Two tips to offer as a new member:

• It helps to post pictures in every article. Royalty Free pictures are great if you don't have anything of your own to use.
• Go ahead and make a post with the introduceyourself tag when you feel ready to do a full introduction. It's customary to include a picture of yourself with a "SteemIt" sign, but not necessarily mandatory.

If you have any question about things around here just reach out! Most people here are very friendly and love to help out new members.
