Is this an important landmark?
It kind of slipped up on me. I have been working hard on understanding Steemit and posting some kind of quality content as often as possible. It became important to me to provoke conversation with people and to respond to their posts. This became a lot of fun. Money has not been the goal and it may never be. I want to learn how to blog and then decide what to blog about in the long run.
And today I discovered that I have connected with more than 100 people on Steemit well enough for them to follow my blog. It still seems very small and I have no idea how important it is. But I decided to use this landmark to pause for a moment and reflect on my journey and the people that have been a part of it.

I could do at least 10 more names but decided when I started this blog that I would stop at 5. Well OK, I'll do one more.
6. 
This guy found me on Twitter. Up to then, I had no idea that other social media could help with Steemit. He lives a very interesting life and I enjoy his strong opinions. He set up some system that automatically upvotes my posts. It always happens about one second before I convince myself that it was a complete failure. You can see his latest post here. He shares a view with
Now that really is it. I hope you enjoyed learning a little bit about the people that have shaped my Steemit journey thus far. I wonder if we will still be connected one year from now? However that turns out, I'm grateful for the value each added already.
