Thank you @exyle!
Part of the inspiration and encouragement came from the vlog of yours I've referenced (thanks!) above. Knowing that you were looking for projects to support with your votes made putting this blog together much easier.
And because of this, I feel there is a bigger reason (than educating myself) to attend Steemfest this year - so hopefully I'll get that sorted sharpish!
It would be great to discuss further with you, I hope we can defeat technology for a more fluent discussion next time!
Awesome!
