let me be critical, but constructive (thats a trained editor's way: when everything is ok, no need to shout out at all. you is urged to say something only when theres something missing, when theres smth critical)

so..... maybe I'm not a newbie already, but I 'm finding this brief text not very useful. cause it brings on very very basic things, I'm already in the know, and lacks the things I dont know, which maybe seem obvious so they dont go to any starting-readme-first-pack

when you describe a '1-photo post', you say 'add something, more text'....
I understand what stands behind this. newbie may not. a good thing is: direct me (a new user) to the PAL post descripting 'a good and a poor' post.

links, links, links.
info about good (and easy... or at least not so hard) contests that will help to announce more loudly about yourself?

recommendations for tags?

some notice about the 'nuances' unnoticeable for the beginners. (personally, I was a bit shocked and frustrated to see my resource mana momentarily went down, after me editing out some typos in my post, 10 times in a row.... haha! that counts as 10 posts, not one. obvious, you say? no!)

etc
etc
etc

actually, I tried to google out 'a poor post description' (I remember I found one by PAL, somewhere... but could not find it once again). but instead got such articles as 'why I left steemit' (haha)

reading these is quite a different story. sorry, I will cancel my further commenting on this. xD

Thank you for your feedback @qwerrie, but this post is deliberately meant to not be extensive, but if you read this carefully, what I am saying is these are the most important and critical things to know before moving on as there are plenty of articles out here for teaching more than these things, but when I was new, it got to be so overwhelming with really long boring posts, that I for the most part didn't understand and would quit reading after a few minutes.I have AADD (not medically) and have a short attention span for long replies! I will consider these things! Again, thanks for the critique!

what is AADD?? (i'm not a native speaker, hehe)
hope my critic was fruitful... at least a bit.
yes, people's ability to perceive/convert longreads into a knowledge, drops less and less and less each year...

mmm, maybe the goal of such a post (ideally...) is to create some marks, to indicate the further /needed/ directions for self-education.
instead of long hard reading = some 'visible marks', the text diluted with a primitive basic pictures, that will describe the stuff very funny and very accessibly, like to the children at primary?.. the stones and holes under the water, sort of...
my 5 cents. and thanks for your support!
i am still only an egg (a steem egg of the 46 level, hehe)

My best friend says that jokingly about me having adult attention deficit disorder, because he and I both get bored with long tedious jobs and lose focus.
Just for information, @qwerrie, I accomplished exactly what I wanted to do with this post.

Actually I remember your introduceyourself post a few days ago...aren't you in St. Petersburg?
Don't worry about being young on here, you will grow and learn in time.
Have an awesome day, my friend...
