<html> <h1>A big welcome!</h1> <p>It was ages ago when I signed-up, and remembering how difficult it was to navigate this platform after guiding one of our new Steemians today, I thought I might write something about it to help our <strong>future Steemians. </strong>Not only did I pulled my hair a lot of times, it can't be helped that I didn't take time to learn things beforehand and I just dived in, no sweat! I learned things along the way though and i am still. Did we ever introduce ourselves before in facebook?</p> <p>Anyway, now that you have become a Steemian, let's reign our horses for a moment, shall we? The password that you have right now, have a lot of usage in this platform. <strong>It's not a joke on signing-in, you read these 3 rules:</strong></p> <p><img src="https://s30.postimg.org/9m6ufecmp/1rc0dq.jpg" width="666" height="500"/></p> <h2>Master PASSWORD</h2> <p>It is the one you have right now. You lose it and say goodbye to your account, that and every precious STEEM you might have had.</p> <p>Logging-in next will require your PRIVATE POSTING KEY. <strong>Arreté!!!</strong> Don't panic, it is here I promise. There are steps that I need to show you to get it. </p> <p>In your account, under your username, you will see this. If you can familiarise yourself with those.</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://s24.postimg.org/3vvs5hy79/Screenshot_20170622-161757.jpg" width="920" height="604"/></p> <h3>Accessing the PRIVATE POSTING KEY</h3> <p><br></p> <p>1. Go to your wallet and next you will see PERMISSIONS</p> <p><img src="https://s24.postimg.org/f4wdvwjz9/Screenshot_20170622-161834.jpg" width="893" height="424"/></p> <p><br></p> <p>2. Click Permissions and you will see your PUBLIC KEYS, which they can be seen by anyone. <strong>Remember to always HIDE your key after accessing it.</strong></p> <p><img src="https://s29.postimg.org/iohmsg4zb/Screenshot_20170622-161918.jpg" width="943" height="519"/></p> <blockquote>This is just your Posting Key, below it are your Active, Owner and Memo Keys.</blockquote> <p>3. Click the SHOW PRIVATE KEY Box. Now, this is your PRIVATE POSTING KEY which you will be using to log-in. COPY & PASTE, then <strong>save it. </strong></p> <p>Right now it can be seen by anyone who wants to check your account. <strong>REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HIDE IT AFTERWARDS. </strong>The importance of the private posting key can be similar to the Mater Password. If it is not, then I personally don't want to find out what is needed to do to have it or have another.</p> <p><br></p> <p><img src="https://s17.postimg.org/krv1hpgz3/20170618_173556.jpg" width="1066" height="800"/></p> <h3>I hope that is clear. You maybe ready now to write your introductory post. As we Steemians say, " Welcome aboard, steem on!" </h3> <p>Please feel free to comment on what can improve this post. Also, do re-steem and share to other social media if you find it helpful to future Steemians...as well as to promote our platform maybe.
