I have accepted a mission: to explore strange new blogs, to seek out new posts and new minnows, to boldly go where no Steemian has gone before! yes, I'm a geek...

The Mission

I will be trawling through this very platform hunting out those hidden gems, the undiscovered countries of newly arrived promising authors, freshly spawned minnows if you like. I wish to put a spotlight on those I think are deserving of a much wider audience.

I have decided to write these posts Monday to Friday, so expect 5 per week.

Today's picks start with @chelsea88 and this post.

https://steemit.com/money/@chelsea88/the-importance-of-living-within-your-means-and-common-pitfalls-to-avoid

In it she discusses the importance of living within your means and the dangers of getting loans and credit. Very well written and worth a follow.

Next up we have @beordo, a newly arrived steemian who is running the following contest.

https://steemit.com/followthewriter/@beordo/followthewriter-week-2-write-to-win-steem-like-last-weeks-3-winners

I chose @beordo as he has a highly original idea for a writing competition and I can't wait to see the results.

@mk40 has made a real splash since his arrival at Steemit

https://steemit.com/story/@mk40/the-dare-devil

This post was a short fan fiction piece, extremely well written and deserving to be published. Another one to watch out for.

@netuoso was a suggestion from @r0nd0n for his last 3 posts

https://steemit.com/steemit/@netuoso/user-script-add-hide-resteemed-posts-on-blog-to-steemit-by-netuoso

@netuoso presents some really handy tools for making your life on Steemit easier. Check him out.

My final selection for today is @crimsonclad

https://steemit.com/photography/@crimsonclad/a-return-to-salton-and-the-blue-haze-of-death

Self described as a photographer and writer in love with the world, @crimsonclad's posts are a treasure of great photography with fantastic commentary. Recommended.

Please check out their blogs and, if you agree with me, give them a follow. I am sure they will appreciate it and your feed will be filled with more great work in the future.

Do you know of any undiscovered gems worthy of sharing? An artist, writer, blogger or singer/performer who could benefit from appearing in these regular posts? Drop me a message in Steemit chat with a link to their work and I will consider them for future inclusion.

I have also begun a #steemgig where I will pay you 5 SBD for every post submitted by you that I feature on these posts.

See below for details.

As @r0nd0n suggested @netuoso he has received 5 SBD as a finder's fee

Special Mention

If you are on the lookout for more established Steemians you can do no better than visiting @cem and his regular Who to Follow Daily (WTF!). He first regales you with a humorous look at his day then presents you with a list of THE accounts to follow on Steemit.
