well it was getting pretty long, the photos are original so you got those two things going for you.
I got one of mine submitted to a curie person, the relay races post, just to see what they said when they rejected it. lol. then maybe get some ideas for improvement.

Now how do you submit one to them? That is news to me, I thought they just followed the art, music, writing, tags or something like that. 😱

haha! wrong wrong wrong! I know something you don't know! I gotta soak up the moment because it's probably the only one I'll ever have! lol

well curie has "official" curators that look at the posts and my friend knows one so she sent my post to her, just hoping for feedback after it gets shot down.

do you know glenal brethsen? I can't recall. but anyway he's been visited 3 times and each time it raised his rep level by 1.5 numbers so it's dang good if you can get it.

I was on one girls blog and she had back to back curies and the posts were nothing to brag about, I was really surprised so I'm sure some human likes or favorites or whatever you want to call that, come into play at times.

but I'm sure they follow the tags but they can also be submitted if you know a curie curator.

LOL, I'm sure it is not the only thing, I find things every day that I do not know.....
Well, I don't know anyone but I bet I could probably find a few.
I hit a guys blog last week that had 6+ $40 posts, and I'm reading them and going huh!!!! They were not curies but he somehow had a couple people following him that had given all of them a $18-$20 vote. I checked for bots as well.
I ended up getting hit on this post with the Dynamic Steemians voting trail, which is where all of the upvotes came from.
On that other post, I don't even know who sent the voting bot to my comment, but hey, I'll take it.

yeah I'll take voting bots if they want to come my way! I see ones where they just have several big people voting for them and it makes a huge difference.
