Introduction
I have been onboarding friends since I came back fully to Steemit last week. And a good number of them, almost all are active, so questions keep on coming about how to do what. I have to explain the platform features and how to work around here. Just this afternoon, I got a question. One of the newbies is struggling to set up their blog page profile and put all the information that should appear on top of their page. So I decided to do this tutorial.
