My First Ever... And Many Thanks

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Steemit and have just posted my initial #introduceyourself post. To my surprise, about 10 ppl left comments and even some of them upvoted what i had written.

Now I'd like to give thanks to a lot of steemians and users of other platforms i forgot to mention in my introductory post.

First of all, my thanks go to two amazing photo artists from Germany - mypod for my avatar and silviarita for my background image.

The next one I'd like to mention is Hive account@blocktrades . With their easy-to use service I bought some Steem and powered up a little for the first time, just to give it all a try.

Another awesome platform is Steemitboard introduced by Hive account@arcange . This really brought some game-like appearance to many blogs. He also has posted very useful guides about how to play this "game of badges". At least it's fun and motivating. Even I with a single post and some comments already have some rewards, which you can see at the bottom of this post.))

I made my board of achievements clickable and resizable, if anyone is interested I'll tell you how next time.

And now just thanks to ppl who:
