Fiber Ramble - August 17
Hi everyone. It's been some time since I last published a Ramble. Life tends to get in the way. After three weeks of on and off labour my granddaughter will be born on Sunday, if she doesn't get her act together sooner. Her mom has been a real trooper through all of this but it's been a busy and stressful time for all of us. I must say, while my Steem posts have suffered, it has been nice to spend so much time with my grandsons.
I don't know if it's because it's summer time or the price of Steem but people in general aren't posting as often. I'm glad to see that the needlework community is growing and posting regularly.
I'm not sure if many of you are aware of the show I've been doing with @shadowspub called "Curation Corner" in the Steemit Ramble Discord on Tuesdays @2pm est. The show is about Manual curation, which is people seeking out quality posts and sharing them with others. This plays an important part in bringing to light good content creators who are often overlooked in the sea of posts on the platform. What does it take to produce a post which will get the attention of the curators? Myself, @artemisnorth, and @shadowspub, along with our guests, discuss posts we have currently curated and what factors in the post contributed to them getting noticed.
Even during my "break" I've been keeping up with posts and promoting our community when ever I get the chance. If you'd like to know how to polish your posts and understand what catches our eye then don't miss our show. If you aren't on Discord, follow @ramblingradio on dLive to watch the live stream..

Thank you for including my post, I am honored.
Thank you so much for your appreciation of my work and including me here! I know for myself that I have been on here very little over the past few months mainly due to crazy summer tourist season where we are, but also a few personal time consuming issues to deal with. I look forward to fall/winter, for more time to play and write!
Thanks for the post, fiberartists.

I'm seeing a lot of posts singing the virtues of manual curation lately, and this is one of them. I can easily see the power of manual curation in music sources like Groove Salad at SomaFM.com, and even live playlists on YouTube (I'm listening to f1rstpers0n's playlist right now, as examples of some great electronic music.
What I like about manual curation is simple, it's still very hard, if not impossible for an algorithm to match the context awareness of humans in picking content.
Anyway, I'm glad to see yet another person dedicating himself to manual curation. This what makes the internet great, not just Steemit.
Thank you for your service.
