When Steemit Calls Your Home... Yes That Did Just Happen!

For the past few days, I've had jitters. Not anxiety, not nervousness, not panic - just that excitement that keeps building until you're buzzing with anticipation
A call with the Business Manager of Steemit, Inc. had been scheduled for 10 AM this morning. After speaking on Hive account@pennsif's State of Steem show last week, I got a few new follows. One name - I didn't recognize. Maybe it was a parent, wanting to find out more about our new app, Hive account@spunkeemonkee? Maybe it was someone who wanted to ask how to get training from our amazing community, Hive account@welcomewagon?

What's that you say? Who called?
Hive account@dreemsteem shares a recent, and unexpected, call they received. See what happened in this post!

Metalsmithing Class Number 2

Last night was the second out of four nights in the Intro to Metalsmithing course I'm taking. It was our first class soldering, which had a few of the students a little bit nervous. Using fire and propane etc is a bit nerve-racking. I have soldered before, and have watched countless videos about it, so I felt relatively comfortable.

From soldering to using torches, Hive account@caitycat is upping her game with this class. Look at that ring she made! All polished and looks perfect! I wonder if she'll start taking orders and sell some?

Macro Photography- Just A Pink Leaf

As you all know I like street photography and not interested in Macro Photography so much but I think the things that you like starts to change with the age. No, my friends I don't give up street photography but I just think after a long running it will be really good to take a shower. I mean if you do the same thing all the time you will get bored so you have to change your routine...So my interest turns to a little macro and nature photography....I want to share my knowledge and experience with you if you let me

WOW! Look at the detail of this leaf!
Hive account@mnallica has either taken a picture of a leaf... or is it the skin of a pink alligator?

Qurator ICO is live!!

Head over to this post to get all the details and get in on all the action!

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.

Write a post about Qurator.

Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.

Invite a friend.

Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
1	You refer a friend to Qurator	You sponsor a membership to your friend
2	Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: `referred by @your_steemit_username`	You send registration fee to Hive account@qurator with your the person's name in memo: `@your_friends_username`
3	Our team reviews the account	Our team reviews the account
4	Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote	Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote

Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.

Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail


	The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto. Steemauto guide and registration info

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
