Aw thanks! Don't worry about the money side of steemit, it's hitting record lows but will inevitably move back up. Actually it's great for newbies like us since the feeds are a little bereft of the usual suspects which gives us more real estate to occupy. Just keep writing and posting.

And yeah, the best part of steemit is definitely the community. I've only been here for a few months and already have made friends for life.

One day both of us will have votes worth at least more than they are now and our 2 cents might actually be worth 2 cents 😂
