Follow these few simple steps below to start using Share2Steem:
The site has been upgraded recently with a better design and navigation was improved a lot. Hence it should be easily understandable, so firstly, log in Share2Steem site with your own Steem account via the SteemConnect(1) option and if you do not own a Steem account, be sure to click on Create Steem Account (Red Button)

Everyone will get a different "unique verification key(8)" assigned by S2S when you're doing the account linking. You'll need to use this given key onto your Twitter profile's bio as shown on the image below.
Head over to your own Profile, click "Edit Profile (9)" and enter the Unique Key given by S2S to your "Bio description(10)" on your profile and save it. Head back to your Share2Steem and click "Verify Account(8)" which is just below your verification key.
