Friends, this is a week I've been waiting for. Just a couple of weeks after the massive number of irrelevant posts forced me to focus on them here in this weekly post, and make them a weekly topic, we

It's deja vu all over again in the Blog category, with both scores and number of contributors that are reminiscent of the first few weeks of the year. Why? We'll get to it, don't you worry! Scores Click

When we launched the new guidelines, I expected to lose some writers due to the greater focus on writing quality. In past weeks, that has not been the case. This week, however? It's happening, with a blessed,

This week, we seem to be under assault. Specifically, we've had more irrelevant posts than at any time in the recent past. 17 posts were deemed irrelevant for one reason or another, and I'll go into detail

It's been another busy week for us at the Blog category, which saw slightly fewer contributions than recent weeks - while still being Utopian's biggest category. Some of our contributors are starting to

The new Blog category questionnaire is now live, and being used to score contributions to both Blog and #iamutopian. I am inordinately proud of this questionnaire. While it is likely to be tweaked in the

Last week, I promised you a new Blog category questionnaire. If you're a contributor to the category, you probably know that hasn't happened yet. I swear it's going to happen soon! And I can tell you that

Much like last week, this is a special week. Not because of the IndieGogo (which is still ongoing, and which you should totally support), but because we're launching something that's been in the works

This week is going to be a bit different. You see, it's a special week. It's IndieGogo launch week, so that's gonna be the focus of this week's post. The Numbers But first, all the numbers you've come

We continue to be blessed by a mass of contributions, from veterans and new folks alike. This week saw an uptick of irrelevants, but also many quality posts, with a slight improvement in overall quality

This week, as the currency failed to perk back up, still saw a very nice number of contributions, with the quality ticking up a bit compared to the last two weeks. We're still dealing with an influx of

It's been another pretty huge week for the Blog category, somewhat hampered by the currency's dip during the week. I'm fairly certain that if the upwards trajectory would have been maintained, we'd have

With the currency making a bit of a comeback in the middle of the week, we've had a surge of activity in the Utopian Blog category, giving the category more posts and contributions than at any time since

With the year in full swing, stability has become the name of the game again in the Blog category. As you'll see in the post, our stats this week were nearly identical to the previous week's numbers. The

We're back to normal, and have got the contributions to show for it. A dramatic increase and influx of new and new-ish contributors have combined to bring the volume of contributions to a height we've

It's a new year! With the holidays safely behind us, it's time to rev the engines again. But, first, a recap of the last week of holidays - and post-holiday hangovers. The Scores Graphs created using Airtable

I joined Steem one year ago, on December 31st, 2017. The currency was riding high, and @techslut's long campaign to get me on board finally bore fruit. I've gone through different periods during the year.

We're knee deep in what is, for much of the world, the holiday season. Things have been a bit sleepy in the Blog category, which was to be expected. Still, a decent amount of activity. Can't complain.

We're one week away from the end of the year, the holidays are in full swing, and the Blog and #iamutopian category contributors are still going strong! Let's have a look at those numbers, shall we? The
