While I have made only a few posts so far, I have spent quite a bit of time perusing the many categories available in this platform called Steemit. Wow...what an amazing journey. With over 250 categories and tens-of-thousands of posts, one can get quite an education.
The topics are wide and the style of writing as variable as the clouds in the skies. Whether you are new to this amazing community, like me, or a seasoned veteran, I would encourage each of you to take some time everyday and read in whatever category interests you. Not only will you be educated in your interests, you'll learn more on what Steemit is about. In the world of bloggers, it's difficult to be noticed as you have to promote yourself constantly. Personally for me, I've read more blogs here than I ever did before. Not that there weren't many interesting blogs to read, they simply were not always in one place and easy accessible unless you knew where to look.
One of my favorite posts was from . The post was in the Coffee category. The journey was a history lesson about the role coffee has played in our world. Who knew that Lloyd's of London and the NY Stock Exchange got their starts in coffee houses. The research was incredible.
I look forward to exploring more writers who have spent many hours doing research on what ever their passion is.
I understand that the environment of Steemit has changed and posts aren't earning as much money. It seems there's a lot of controversy around that topic. Since I am new here, it hasn't been an issue. However, for those who spend so much time in research I hope they are able to earn something for their effort. It is their love of writing that brings them joy and to those of us who read their posts.
Have you taken the time to read posts from your fellow Steemians and show them some love and support? I suggest you do. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
