Welcome to the 210th Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03 - $5.57!

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining famTe with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

I'm Doing The Steemit Name Challenge- Blame @suesa

Well, you might think so. I've been nominated by @suesa to do the Steemit Name Challenge. I'm not really sure who started this, but it's interesting and it will get me posting again, so I'm all for it

Where did @lemony-cricket get their unique name? I don't know about you, but I am loving this name challenge and learning about all my fellow steemains and how they came up with their steemit usernames. Head on over and see where and how this name evolved for your fellow Qurite.

Market Friday- Flowers

These photographs are of the flower market that every Sunday is made in my city.
I have decided on roses, but there are flowers of all kinds of flowers... The red roses the most striking

Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses.... right? Or in @txatxy's case, you have to stop and take some pictures along the way. See some spectacular images caught in this market Friday post shared from this flower market.

Love It Or Shove It Challenge- Vibrant Yogini

I do love a good Steemit challenge! As a relatively new Steemit user, I am really appreciating the opportunities to connect with more Steemit users and find interesting people to follow, share support with and have a good social time with online!

It's time to meet another Qurite in a great post and challenge that has been sweeping the steemit platform. The loveitshoveit posts are all over the website and this time it's @vibrantyogini's turn; so head over and see what her five top picks are, and which five are the worst.

Traditional Social Media Is Just Becoming The New Mainstream Media

Once upon a time social media was "the new media" where everyone had a voice, where there were no longer political and corporate gate keepers. Well guess what? The new media, is morphing back into the old media, where the narrative is controlled by powerful interests who seek a uniformity of opinion

What are your opinions and views on the way social media has developed? We all the recent troubles plaguing Facebook... has this changed your view of the social media giant? Are you like me, and don't even go to FB anymore?What uses do social media have in your life and career? Head over to @johnvibes' post to see what he has to say and share your thoughts.

Steemauto Curation Trail

RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto.

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
