ONE. Each time I vote for a post the amount of money going to the author goes up by about a cent. It's like the old days again, and it's a good buzz. I'd forgotten how cool it was to see votes actually doing something, and if all the flagging has brought that about, I can see it's upside.
TWO. There seems to be more people making an effort to do posts. It all seems fresher. Some of the regulars seem to be taking a break, but other people are stepping up. There are certainly a lot of interesting posts on my timeline. Maybe having a bit of a shake up has gotten things moving.
THREE. I'm getting the feeling there is a new attitude of "we can do this" - and that ultimately Steemit is a space for creating things. We can create things.
All that code stuff makes this site work, but ultimately it's not what will bring most people to Steemit or make them want to stay. Content is where it's at, and we can all do some of that.
Now we are all leaping off into the unknown
MY WHOPPING GREAT STEEMIT SIGNATURE
Because sometimes I like to do short posts with pictures, art, photos, and funny stuff, and then there is bugger all in my post, I need a whopping great signature to put at the bottom of my short posts to give them some beef.
On my longer posts I’m really just including it to go on about myself, but what the hell, we all need to blow our own trumpet sometimes.
My real name is Ian Gregson, aka wheels007. I’m a professional sifter from Wellington New Zealand. My interests include photography, conspiracies , web design, writing, nutrition, art, design, philosophy, technology, anarchy, health, computers, humour (humor), gratuitous arse shots, and anything that makes my eyes bulge while I make squeaking sounds (except torture).
Back in the glory days of Steemit (August 2016), I once made $404 for a post and went on a three day bender. It took months to work off the after effects of the hangover and I’m still attempting to understand how that ever happened.
I’m currently developing a new website portal to rival Steemit called www.frot.co.nz where I’m testing out a new feature called “frottage” that may revolutionise blogging and create a global paradigm shift.
Photos and pictures labeled
Otherwise, due to pressure to conform, I’m having a crack at including an image credit beneath each picture I copy off the internet. I do have opinions on this subject, but am practicing putting a sock in it.
To tell the truth I often have no idea what I’m going to post next, but I will be sure to include pictures. If you are a person who prefers mainstream opinion, my posts may not be entirely your cup of tea. But if you like to dwell on the wild fringes of conspiracy theory, or you are a whale with a massive blowhole, you might like to follow me on Steemit. It would be great to have you on board.
