#introduceyourself

Hello Steemit! My Introduction Post

Hi Steemers,

As the title says I’m new to steemit so I thought I should introduce myself!

Who am I?

My name is Symeon and I’m from the United Kingdom. My background is in engineering, Mechanical to be precise and I have been working in this sector for over 10 years. My current role is as a design engineer and my work focuses on the renewable industry.

Why steemit?

The best way to support something is to use it!

I first found out about steemit in the summer of 2017, I really liked its use case and it seemed like one of the few things connected to the blockchain space that actually had utility. Unfortunately, I got distracted due to the cryptocurrency bull run at the time and more recently procrastination, due to this I have only got round to creating an account now.

What I will be posting?

I have a passion for film and this will be my main theme, film reviews, trailer reviews and anything else relating to film I think is worth sharing. I also like anything STEM-related (Science, engineering, technology, maths) due to my occupation so I might post things relating to this every once and a while too.

I really like what steemit is trying to achieve and hopefully, I can contribute to its continued growth and global adoption.

Please feel free to contact me, like and also comment on any my posts if you feel they have been helpful.

Thanks for reading!

@symo... welcome indeed!!

I really like what steemit is trying to achieve and hopefully, I can contribute to its continued growth and global adoption.

That is what it's all about!!

Community... decentralized freedom! We are ALL small pieces, working together to make the WHOLE a beautiful place. You will get a lot of people welcoming you, and I hope you do! Just remember...ALWAYS use proper citation and sources for your posts. A simple "All photos were taken by me"... or get fancy and show the device...ANYTHING to keep you from getting heat from people like SteemCleaners etc. Engagement is key!! A nice response...substantive replies other than..."nice post!"

Lol....once you start getting into this place, it is VERY addictive. But watch your Voting Power... never let it go below 80%...all of these things and more can be learned at our dear @steemterminal... I will even give you a free taxi at the end of my reply! It's good to see you here, and I wish you luck in ALL of your endeavors...

Oh yes!! That taxi!!

Welcome to a world you already know what it is. Even if the cryptocurrency bulldoes not walk or run properly you can continue here at least for time pass.

keep steeming..
@jamerussell(63)· 2640d
Welcome to the Steemit community @symo! We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for here and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions:
1. Use your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions,
3. The master password is only to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written without credit,
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once, and
7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Steeming!

Hi and welcome here! When I started on steemit, my biggest problem was to find interesting people to interact with. So, to help newcomers getting started I created a directory with other interesting and or talented steemians to follow or interact with. Feel free to check it out at https://www.steemiandir.com I am sure it will help you find like-minded people. Enjoy your stay here and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
