The Steemtopia Network of Learning is happy to provide another update for Steemians that want to share their knowledge and skills in different areas of life to help other Steemians. SNL is also proud to partner with the #newbieresteemday initiative, @steemgigs, @steemfreelancers, @steemfreepress and individuals who wish to share their knowledge and skills with the rest of the Steemit community.

First I want to share with you some of the exciting things I have been hearing and learning about this week...

News

It's all fun and games!

The #newbiegames is in full swing and I would like to thank all the people that are actively participating by creating and playing games. There are some very good people behind this and it is all for the benefit of supporting new comers to the Steemit community:

Don't forget to also check out the featured games of the week where there will be newbie nickels for everyone:

Brushing up on Markup

While trying to create some games for the initiative, I had to brush up on my own post formatting and so I dound some good links that newbies might be interested in (if you know of more please let me know):

• https://steemit.com/steemit/@ottodv/handy-steemit-markdown-guide-with-samples
• https://steemit.com/steemit/@thecryptofiend/markdown-basics-for-beginners
• https://steemit.com/emojis/@blueorgy/steemit-emojis-master-list

Wiki page for all things Steem related

If you find the FAQ pages for Steemit a little bit tough going, there is another good resource available without having to trawl through heaps o findividual posts at @steemcenterwiki:

The quest for a more positive Steemit

Something that I am very happy to hear about this week is @fulltimegeek's quest to make the Steemit community a much more positive experience for everyone, but it is a big job and will need all the support he can get:

A Steemit Makerspace

Another exciting idea this week comes from @thatsweeneyguy who is very active in many Discord groups and wants to establish a makerspace for Steemians to collaborate and create:

Reminders

There are some good promotions happening over at the @smartcash team that I read about through @simplifylife's feed and I have also added him to the list of teachers for STEM category (I recommend checking out @steemstem posts as they are high quality and very educational):

Thanks to @amariespeaks who has connected me with @wizardave, I have also considering creating a better space out of steemit for this initiative so if this is something you would like to see please let me know. One potential space outside of Discord might be jabi4Steemit, there are more details about it here:

FINALLY,

Whether you are new to Steemit or an experienced Steemian, if you have a passion or genuine interest in sharing your knowledge and helping other Steemians out there, the Steemtopia Network of Learning is for you! Read about the initiative here:

The learning circles provided for people to list their interests/topics are as follows:
