I have been having fun using www.decentmemes.com to create memes for the steemit blockchain. It's a smaller version of the bigger guys meme site. I have received a lot of organic upvotes large and small from this site. I invite you to try and make some memes! It connects via steemconnect to your steemit account. You make your memes there and then it posts to your page ![decentmemes-1520744822325](https://g.decentmemes.com/i-should-buy-a-boat/I%20think%20ill%20use%20Decentmemes.com%20/To%20make%20memes%20on%20Steemit%20today.jpg) These are some uncommon things I wish I was made aware of early on when I first joined!
