It has been a bit since I put out a Ramble. Seems to be so much going on that I don’t put the priority here at times. 
Hive account@artemisnorth and I have started a show on Rambling Radio which is about manually curating posts on the platform.
Artemis is the curator behind 
Hive account@fiberartists and 
Hive account@paddlingnature. Each week we’ll be inviting other curators onto the platform to talk about the platform, posts we’ve curated and why we curated them. It’s a great opportunity to learn how content is evaluated by real people on the platform.
The show takes place Tuesdays at 2pm EDT / 6pm UTC in the Steemit Ramble discord and streamed live on DLive. Listen in there or join us in the audience.

Onward to today’s rambling
Hive account@gmuxx is one of the admins at 
Hive account@thewritersblock and part of the 
Hive account@noblewitness witness team. He’s posted here about the changes which are going on at the block and some of the effect it has had. Great post as always Hive account@gmuxx
One of the groups I belong to on Discord is 
Hive account@thealliance. The leader 
Hive account@enginewitty regularly features a member for a week so the other members of the fam can get to know them. This week he chose 
Hive account@thekittygirl. Going to urge everyone to click through and look at her posts, leave comments and upvote them. Hive account@thekittygirl is truly one of the unsung people on the platform and any where she goes is better for her being there.
The Writers’ Block has introduced editing workshops to help people not only to learn the basics of editing writing but through that learning strengthen our own writing.
Hive account@eveningart quickly showed herself to be a talented artist on the platform. In this post she’s decided to get playful and doodle the word ULog. Actually, it’s a contest entry. I love the result and she has done a time-lapse video of her process.
Hive account@thekittygirl is a solid content creator on the platform and this post is definitely one of those. She’s got an eye for spotting what is different and a talent for presenting it in a very interesting and informative manner. This post on how people are preserving and displaying old signs is definitely worth the read.
Hive account@andysantics48 shares with us her process of making a soap with a fragrance that guys would appreciate. I regularly use soap a friend makes from goat’s milk that isn’t scented. The joys of fair skin. I love how she’s presented this post, even if she did get so immersed in the process she forgot some picsWhen Fear Stopped Being Normal.
Hive account@monchhichi23 post on the topic of fear for Drop in The Ocean at the 
Hive account@buddyup server gives a courageous look into part of the world of an abuse survivor. Well written.
Hive account@snook can be a lot of laughs or she can be very perceptive with her observations on humanity. In typical Hive account@snook fashion, this post is both. She talks about beauty and friendships in the personna of a witch. Rather unique approach.
Hive account@theweaselswife draws attention to three excellent Steemians in her beautifully descriptive way of noticing the details and wordpainting them to us. Great work.
Hive account@jasminearch starts this post off with a 50 word microfiction post from one of 
Hive account@jayna’s prompts and then goes on to talk about the Japanese art of Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi, repairing broken pottery with a special lacquer and gold, silver or platinum. Interesting read.
About the Steemit Ramble
The Steemit Ramble is a manual curation project written by 
Hive account@shadowspub since August 2016. She scours the blockchain to locate and share the best posts so you don't have to. Every day many quality posts disappear on the blockchain leaving their authors frustrated they aren't seen and readers just as frustrated trying to find them. This curation project brings readers and authors together.
How You Can Participate?
As hard as she works, Hive account@shadowspub doesn't find all the best. You, as a reader, will find posts that have been missed and really should be seen. You can take a part in bringing these posts to light and earn a share of the post they are published in.
The Steemit Ramble has it's own discord called, Steemit Ramble. Here you can nominate posts you've found and think belong in the Ramble.
How to Nominate a Post
- Read How I Manually Curate to give you an idea of what I'm looking for in a post. This covers the formatting, the quality of the writing is just as important.
- When you find a post visit the Ramble discord and submit it to the #nominate-someones-post channel by writing a short nomination
It's that easy. I review each submission. Those I select will receive credit for the nomination, their nomination will be part of the entry in the Ramble and they will receive a portion of the SBD earned when the post pays out.
Supporting the Steemit Ramble Curation Project
In addition to reading and upvoting the Steemit Ramble, you can support the project and the authors featured in it by:
Delegating even as much as 25 SP to 
Hive account@steemitramble -- this will increase the voting power of the account when it votes on those curated. Delegating is like loaning me some of your Steem Power so I can vote on others posts with a larger vote.
Join the curation trail on SteemAuto and then join the curation trail. The trail is called Steemit Ramble
Pimp Your Post Thursday
Don’t forget, Pimp Your Post Thursday takes place every Thursday at 11am and 7:00pm EDT on the Steemit Ramble Discord. Come and join the fun promoting your posts and getting to know others.
