Steemit has promise as a great alternative to Google +, YouTube and Facebook, but I do have one cautionary word - DON'T LOSE YOUR PASSWORD. Steemit doesn't store it and so it can't help you retrieve it or change it. If you lose it or lose control of it, you may also lose control of the content of your wallet. So, keep a safe backup of your password AND store local records of your wallet transactions. You can learn more about this and other 'fine print' when you sign up and read the Terms & Conditions.
Aside from that, welcome to Steemit and thanks for stopping by to read my very first Steemit story. Give this post an 'upvote' and get yourself some STEEM too! I'll see you around and hope to see some of your Steemit story content too!
Cheers,
