Master Banner Post

This is the post that will for the foreseeable future be featured on my Banner, Thus the name master banner post, I will periodically be replacing/updating this post. It will contain most all of the items from the previous post, with additions, and no doubt deletions. Also as I stated it is a for now post and may go away and be replaced at anytime. Now my current favorite picture. I took it with my smartphone.

Projects

The Steemit Newbie Resteem Initiative: This a project that was started by @mudcat36 and @davemccoy. It is an initiative to support newbies by simply resteeming a newbie's post or blog and/or making honest suggestion on it. There is a lot more to it than that of course but it is the prime purpose, to provide guidance and visibility for new steemians. On Sundays you will see a post from me on/about the project. I have chosen Sundays as the day I am going to available. That may change, because frankly none of us have a crystal ball that will tell us what is happening from one day to the next, that being said Sunday will be my newbieresteem day.

None of us involved in this project have even reached the status of minnow yet, at least not as of my last look. If helping out one or two people that are new to steemit is something you think you would like to try, head on over to @mudcat36 's post:
https://steemit.com/newbieresteemday/@mudcat36/the-steemit-newbie-resteem-initiative-week-1 This post explains his and Dave's idea.

Here is what I advised @mudcat36, I would be able to do:
Hello @mudcat36, I left a comment on one of dave's post about this. Now to the basics.

1. I will try to find one newbie to promote a week.
2. being honest, I do not think I can find 10 newbies a week and provide them support. There is a lot of other things I like to do on steemit, but I will provide aid and support of newbies when I can and have the time.
3. See number 2 above, I would like to but in all honesty, I do not have the time.
4. See numbers 3 and 2 above. Also, I do not want to give my vote over to anyone for any reason. I view my vote as being mine.
5. I will use the newbieresteemday tag on my newbie hunt day.
   Now I need to go and find a pretty Betta Fish image for my "newbieresteemday " blog.

The numbers relate to the post in what he would like people to do or accomplish. They will make sense if you read the post.

That concludes the current projects I am actively working on. I think this is a great project. In the 6 months that I have been here I have not run across any projects trying to help redfish/plankton, us new users. All Whale Projects seem to be aimed at Minnows. It is not until Minnow Status, that an individual's vote begins to have any significant value, and it is at Minnow Status that an individual receives the vote slider, thus allowing them to spread their vote far and wide. Since first joining I have been trying to learn and help people along the way. This project just formalizes it.

Helpful Links

Steem Web Resources: Tools, Apps, Communities, etc. A well gathered and organized very complete guide to Tools for steemit. @inquiringtimes has put a lot of work into gathering this and more than newbies will find it very useful.

Using the Internal Market. This is one of the easiest and simplest explanation I have found to do anything at all on steemit, and it is one of the most important. If you want to build your steem power up, @everittdmickey shows you how to do it, and makes it simple to understand.

I will, I am sure add to this list as I learn and find more as I grow. I have several helpful links on my blog, and many of them are the same as what @inquiringtimes has found and linked, so those two links above should help almost everyone. I have saved the most important help link for last. Everyone needs to read this link.

Reading

If you have looked at my blog, it is pretty obvious that I love to read. Below is a selection of some of the Authors that I have read stories from. They are all fine writers. If you like to read, then you will find the below list a nice way to get started reading some of the stories available on steemit. An important word about their blogs, scroll back and then back, and then back some more. Some of them have master story list, but most do not, so scroll and scroll and find even more stories from them.

Storytellers and Authors from previous entries.

They keep writing, and I keep reading.

If you have a nicer way of organizing the list above let me know. Using dots to separate and try to keep them somewhat organized as on volume 9, seemed to be a little bit messy. I am not sure I prefer this method either though.

After 5 hours of trying to think, format and present this to more people than just myself, I am tired. So good enough, it is after all mostly for my use, and I can add to over the next 6 days, I think it is 6 days.
