Below is a summary of our team's experience this week:

@event-horizon:

It was a tough week. It was hard to find enough posts other than diaries and engagement challenge. We all know the problem with template-driven posts. They are all same inside out and even if somebody had an exciting worth-sharing day or uses a different approach in the contest, the title hides the exciting factor.

I have a habit of searching posts in niche tags. But there were hardly any votable posts there. It would be great if authors try writing in different fields of interest, write inviting titles, and use relevant tags - something like we had in the initial months of community curator project.

Most people won't even read this, but a comment from the team will do the job, only if they agree.

@mesola:

I was lucky to be among others curators that was chosen to curate in the month of June, I so much thank my team leader @inspiracion for giving me the opportunity. I will love to point out my experience so far in this first week of curating as a new Steemit curator, my first week has been a week of fast learning and growth. I have located a energetic community of creators and engaged with so many contents. The funny thing is that I have learnt to sail over the platform, on my quest on working I have identified high-quality posts and I make sure I reward those that really deserve.

Apart from happily curating I have also faced some challenges, the time zones was one of my challenges but I try my best to manage it and balance individual opinions. Despite these challenges, I feel excited being able to support talented writers and artists, going round seeing the impact of my curation on their content. I feel so excited to continue learning and contributing to the platform, encouraging a culture of creativity and teamwork

@inspiracion:

This first week was a different experience for me, since we are in a team of only 3, this causes us to be in more frequent contact with curation. I tried to focus on publications outside the common ones, and I was happy to find various authors and creators, although I had to be more careful when searching by tags, in addition to communities.

This made me realize a problem that has been going on for a long time and that is the inappropriate use of tags to classify content. I think it is important that we make an effort to discard tags that are not necessary, such as the beneficiaries, which can be clearly seen, as well as the tags of the clubs, which can also be clearly seen... There is a use of tags that are overabundant. It would help a lot to see different tags referring to the specific topic of the post, this would be very helpful for curation.

Top 7 Selected Publications Of The Week

In general we have tried to break the mold of traditional curation a little, to give space to different authors, as a way to motivate them to create, that is our main objective.

At first it has been a task that requires dedication and time to explore beyond the authors who participate in the well-known dynamics, but we have been able to find some good findings. We hope this serves as motivation for the authors and also for those who do the healing, to explore a little more...

The title quickly grabbed my attention. The author has done justice to it by narrating an engaging tale of a bike tour through great story-telling and photography skills. He perfectly captured the essence of such an adventurous trip by covering both the challenges and fun side of it.- @event-horizon

Post Link:Unas Palabras Para// Papá ("Sin ti")
Nominated by: @inspiracion}
_{Curation window: 3 days}

@yola1, shares a very moving piece of writing with us. The ties of love are sometimes not linked to those of blood, and a father is the one who completely occupies that space, filling that important bond in the life of a daughter.
A poem resulting from the memory left by a father, and the emotions expressed with great sincerity, makes anyone who can understand the void left by the absence of a beloved father shed a tear.
This is a very emotional publication, but with well-crafted language that manages to convey emotions.-@inspiracion

_{Curation window: 6 days}

This day of curation, to end this week, I came across this publication, it is the narration of a training session in the early morning, when sleep abandons our author and he decides to go for a walk and train between considerations and thoughts.

One of the things that caught my attention the most was the translation of the poem "Reveal yourself when your light goes out." He shares this poem with us in his own voice.

It is a reading full of thoughts and emotions that exhort us to fight instead of simply resigning ourselves.-@inspiracion
