1017 Followers - Thank You Every One - I Just Followed You All Back!
I started writing this post last night when I was at 998 followers, and I am happy to announce that I have officially surpassed the 1000 th follower threshold sometime earlier today!As each day goes by I become more and more impressed with the direction the platform it is taking! I loved all the hard forks, all the changes, and look forward to all the rest yet to come!
So What Do All My Followers Look Like?
I have been looking into my followers lately and just found a very helpful website by 
https://steem.makerwannabe.com/
Here are my followers in their entirety! (screenshot graph my followers:)
The graph above shows all my Follows, Unfollows, and Mutes.
(Luckily there aren't any mutes)
The blue vertical bar lines on the chart are my actual followers, and the pink bars on top of the blue are my unfollows. It is important to examine the unfollows too, because to understand them is the key to converting them back to a follow! If you can understand why they left it could be invaluable information to have.
