Last weekend, my friend @lynncoyle1 reached out to me and encouraged me to get involved with this pay it forward contest hosted by @pifc. Gracias, Lynn—con gusto! The competition is pretty simple, really, it’s all about paying it forward by helping #new steemians reach a larger audience with their publication aka #curate. Well, iheart #curating—“guilty!” She called you out, too, @quillfire (Mr. starving poet), I know you saw it—she named us both in the same message. And then I called you out, @jlsplatts (Mr. DIY extraordinaire), remember? I called it a Hail Mary. The point I’m trying to make is, I haven’t seen either of you enter this competition, yet! So... I guess it’s settled then—I’ll go first!

_{And so should you—this challenge takes place #weekly!}

Happy Saturday, #steemit! Today I’m going to show you two three articles you haven’t seen yet—three articles that deserve more a lot more attention than they’re currently receiving. Please help me out and show these young steemians some love. Show them you appreciate their contribution to the #blockchain by clicking on their image and opening their article, read what they have to say and, if you believe I’ve curated quality, original-content, please join me by clicking their Upvote button. On behalf of the authors I’m curating, thank you all for your generosity and support—first impressions are everything!

Feature #1:

A Step Back In Time- The 1900`s and earlier.
Posted by: @lone.ranger57

This is her very first publication on the #steem blockchain ya’all, yes, you read that correctly! @lone.ranger57 just entered the space less than a week ago and began her #steemit experience by commenting, engaging and resteeming a few articles before releasing her first publication just yesterday. This article has everything you want—images, 19th century #history, facts, proofs, personal opinions, and it’s very well written, too! Go show her some love—welcome to #steemit and thank you for publishing this article, @lone.ranger57.

Feature #2:

Magnificent Albums #05 - Ramones//////////////////The Ramones (1976)
Posted by: @themusiclover

Look, I’m a big fan of good music—“guilty!” And, whenever someone says they don’t like The Ramones and/or they can’t remember where they were the first time they watched Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, I have a tough time believing anything else they say—Ramones rock! @themusiclover gives us a quick and descriptive biography about the band including how and where they got their start, the invention of their stage names, the recording of their first album and even how much their first album cost to produce—it’s all there! Show’em some love, #steemit! Whether you’re a Ramones fan or not, I know you love #music, click on this article and get informed.

Feature #3:

Little bird
Posted by: @alexkopareiko

I just featured this artist earlier this week and, here I am again, featuring Alex Kopareiko—did I mention he’s only been registered on #steemit for 14 days? In his first two weeks on the platform, this artist has published a drawing every.single.day (+1), for a total of 15 drawings with introductions and progress pictures and he deserves some recognition for all of his hard work and effort. Show him some support #steemit—show him he came to the right platform and you appreciate his contributions.
