Are you posting on steemit?
Are you making money?
Well, that makes you a professional Blogger then.
OK a bit of a stretch, you may not be making a living at doing it but you're making money, you're being paid to post whatever you post.
Now to the reason for this post.
I saw a post earlier where someone said quality content creators were leaving steemit because of flower pictures. Flowers were driving away the professional bloggers.
Now unless these bloggers have a very rare type of hay-fever that is triggered just by an image of a flower I can't see how they can be classed as professional. Maybe elitist snob bloggers would be a better way to discribe them if that claim of flowers driving them away is true.
Now while this is a place where you post blogs, it isn't an old fashioned blog site but a social media site where people from all over the world post whatever they like.
So why the attitude that a post that is of 'serious quality content' must be better than a photograph of a flower that someone has looked after and tended to help bring it to bloom or a garden, looked after for years?
The simple fact is people love to look at photographs of natural beauty, to see plants and flowers that are not native to their home countries. People are sharing their lives and passions with their posts and for anyone to try and say such posts are of lesser value to the steemit community than some post that took an hour to write are fooling themselves and showing disrespect to their fellow steemians.
I've found the people love photographs of gardens, the plants in them and the wildlife that we see, we are learning about each other through our posts. On steemit there shouldn't be an attitude of some posts being superior, if it doesn't 'float your boat' then just don't look at it or upvote it.
So here we are with this amazing site and opportunity for us all to become professional bloggers so we should all be showing some professional respect for each other.
So lets end this with another flower photograph.
