Hi there @brokendreams nice to have you around.
Firstly, you should use the #introduceyourself tag for your first post. Maybe repost this one making reference to it?
Anyway, good to have you here.
This is a great place to do exactly what you say you will, or want to, and of course you can maintain your anonymity as well.
I've been around for a little while and what helped me is the few points I list below. Just my thoughts mind, and not what I suggest you do. That's up to you.
Obviously I see engagement as a key factor here.
Anyway, I'll leave it there, other than to say I curate for @curangel and have sent this post...It goes against my rules as normally I wouldn't send an introduction post preferring to see how the person's blog develops first...But something about your blog made me feel inclined to do so. You should receive some vote-love subsequently.
Regards.
