Hello Aimee,
I would like to welcome you to the Steemit community. It is a good thing you stopped for coffee and found the books open.
I myself spend a good amount of time welcoming people, this place takes some getting used too. My advise is think of this place as a two way street, there is traffic in both directions. Go play in the traffic, don't sit at the end of your drive way hoping people drop by once you get past the introduceyourself phase.
I see you followed me by your own accord, so I think you probably grasp what I mean. If I can be of any assistance to you just drop me a note.
There are plenty of groups associated with several different points of interest on here, find some and make yourself know in those that interest you.
I write a blog called, Daily Dose of Sultnpapper, stop by and check it out sometime if you care to. I will check back on you in a week or so, in the mean time, explore this new world of Steemit.com
Until next time,
@sultnpapper
