May 29th -- Steemit Ramble #158 -- Curating Great Posts for You
I took a bit of a different approach to this edition of the Ramble. Normally I review posts from a broad cross-section on the platform. For this edition I focused in on a specific criteria. This is an effort to find and provide some notice to newer members of the platform who have produced some quality content.
To get into this edition the post has to be written by someone with a reputation between 25 & 40 in order to capture newer members of the platform. The post has a minimum of 300 words, a payout less than $1.50 at the time I reviewed it and of course, was written in English. The posts here were chosen from a field of about 1300 posts.

AWESOME UNDERWATER CITIES

"My First Month on Steemit" Building Roots in Cryptocurrency
@jumpproductions shares with us his first month on the platform and getting rooted here. He was new to the concept of cryptocurrency as many of us are when we arrive.
Opening the Gate to Wisdom: The Ancient Trivium
@bbblackwell explains in simple terms the concept of the trivium of thinking and processing new information. With the volume of information we take in every day it’s important that we’re aware of our thinking processes in order to evaluate and absorb the relevant information.
What I learned from the amazing book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (#3)
This post is part 3 of a series on the book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, the 1923 book about a successful speculator, Jesse Livermore. @jwyles has done a great job of not only talking about the subject of the book but relating it to our explorations in crypto trading. You’ll want to check out the first two parts.
Start your week right "Be careful of your thoughts"
@gavinci13 explores the concept of “be careful of your thoughts” as it has been expressed by some of the great thinkers of our times. It’s a truth that many of us forget to embrace and be mindful of.
Influence vs. Authority
@voice-of puts forth his thoughts on the difference between influence and authority. They are treated here as separate processes, I tend to see one being integral to the other but @voice-of has done an interesting presentation of his views.
About the Steemit Ramble
The Steemit Ramble is a manual curation project written by @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, @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 @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.
