Oh wow, it has been 26 days with this challenge. There were some topics that I did not write but for the most part, I was able to participate and write my thoughts.

When I was starting in Steemit, I did not understand about bandwidth, voting power and even how to track what was going on my account but all of this changed when I was schooled on maintaining a voting power of 80% and how to track that as well as bandwidth. So the first thing that I learned to use was.

It has everything that you need. You can check your Voting Power, your bandwidth, how long you have been in the platform and even how many posts/comments you have done.

Another cool thing that it shows is listing 100 witnesses as opposed to just the 50 in the witness page in Steemit.

Steemworld is awesome because it shows a further breakdown of things that you see in Steemd.

As you can see I have made 248 posts in 229 days and 8222 comments made. I have been a very busy person in connecting and engaging people.

You can also filter and see specific things.

This tool is one of my favorite in terms of monitoring the more altruistic side of Steem. It has the behavior of all people that vote in Steem. What topics they vote for as well as who they vote for.

How can I forget Steem.suppy. More than being able to monitor the earnings you have I see how effective my commenting is

When I first started commenting was a major source of my revenue and Steem Power in the platform. I peaked at around 25 comments but now I average about 18-20 comments outside of my posts a day and even if it doesn't contribute over 40% as it had before but commenting keeps me engaged and finding new people.

So there are so many ways to check what is going on the Steem Blockchain. Everything is transparent and you can see who are the actors, bad and good ones.
