Steemit Needs Series: Pls. comment with your ideas to improve Steemit!! | E. 27 | 11- 21- 2017 | Community Engagement | Archives to help Developers / Community.
Hi again everyone! I am keeping my word to keep the series going!
I would like you to comment with your visual aids or written ideas of what you think Steemit can use to improve the Community for features and why.
Comments sections here are GOLD as we know, some great TIL learning and tips usually pop up too here.
Part of the reason I do this series and share other things / series I do, is for the TON of new people coming to Crypto and Steemit daily, I mention this daily in a post or comment somewhere.
They need help and resources. They feel lost when they are Steemit / Crypto noobs. I know I did.
Comments sections are great learning places for all of us -- but new Crypto folks especially.
We are all early adopters here, if you are even close to reading this today. I say this OFTEN to remind people.
--
We can use Blockchain and Crypto for so many great things to help humanity but once in awhile it is fun to just joke about everyone going to the moon with lambos and whatnot.
It's important to gather feedback from new crypto and Steemit folks as well as older ones.
Views, Spam, Engagement & Meaningful Comments:
Views and engagement still seem to be down and that is why I try to do so many posts / series to BOOST engagement.
The last while I have been wondering if it simply because we have so many accounts here now.
I was the first person to blog that I am aware of - of us crossing the $300k account mark months ago. The other part of me is thinking -- how many of those are just bots because that is a rising problem?
And if there ARE that many accounts.... one might think the comments section would be growing exponentially with all our posts too, right?
Spam and spammy comments are one of the biggest topics now every single day in the community here and many of us are struggling with it, and how to deal with it.
It's OK to gather new ideas but if the same issues pop up, that is great too, because it will send the message that something is more important to the developers and Steemit Elders. My goal is again - use this blog post as a resource to help the dev's and the community members. I can combine them into one post later on if needed to help developers or members.
It is easily searchable also -- as I use the same key phrases / words etc. in the title to keep it searchable - more easily.
I was trying to pick good tags...... I decided to use the TIL or HOWTO tags -- hoping someone either looking FOR help on learning something -- or someone looking TO help on these things would comment! I thought about that one for a couple mins.
If you want to tag people or share it so others can comment and contribute also, that is great. I have my own ideas and see a lot of people talking about it, but as someone who is NOT - I REPEAT NOT! tech savvy like many of you, and who is relatively newer to the Blockchain and Crypto stuff, I know my role is limited to give ideas, I am just a Fat Minnow LOL.
But I have been an activist for years, I am used to building community and gathering info and trying to help so I guess you can blame the activist side of me for this idea which I think is a good one -- an INTENTIONAL POST on the idea, to gather stuff in one place and be easily searchable and findable for all the IT types and developers etc.
Just my way of trying to contribute. I did not even know for sure what tags to use in this post, and I actually spent 5 mins looking and researching the best ones in the past to try and use, before I posted this LOL. I will edit the tags ASAP if you give me better ones to use!!
Noobs can find the TIL or HowTo tags and nuggets here helpful, as I mentioned earlier here.
If we can get some good feedback going, we can use these ideas, all in one place and people can refer back to them. That's why E.1 / E.2 /E.3...4/5/6/7/8/9, etc etc - was in the title, I am hopeful it is helpful as a resource.
We must always head towards the path of Liberty. And help others on this path.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first ~13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

Thank you, Barry, for an opportunity to mention a couple of "Steemit Needs."
Steemit Needs more readers. We can't all be excellent bloggers, or accomplished writers, or brilliant poets or photographers. Not everyone wants to be. But everyone enjoys reading, viewing, and consuming outstanding content. To that end, please have a look at this outstanding article by @steemitgraven29:
Along similar lines, @mattclarke wrote this outstanding piece many months ago.
Steemit also needs to keep its promises. A long time ago, the company promised that beginning with HF17 it would allow authors to edit their own work perpetually. I've written repeatedly about this lack, asked again and again for it to be remedied. My appeals have (so far) fallen on deaf ears.
If you visit my Library Steem Shelf by clicking on this image:
and if you scroll down to the COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT, you can read all about this problem--and why it needs to be fixed-- in painful detail.
Thanks, Barry, for another good post.
😄😇😄
I've written on the editing thing myself and turned it into a full post, with several key points, that I actually replied to @dan / @dantheman on -- many months ago, actually it was last winter, I remember the day I wrote it out on my laptop, out using public wifi, your point is a good one.
Please read this post --- check your blog ---- are you missing posts and please resteem! ----https://steemit.com/steemit/@barrydutton/um-are-you-missing-some-of-your-own-blog-posts-in-your-own-feed-from-both-3-and-4-days-ago-several-of-my-posts-have-literally
Quality will come with the real journalists, the bloggers, the scientists... it will come, when they find out... Steemit content clearly shows: it's very, very, very early days!
Excellent post!!
Steem needs to really reward credible blog post too...
Doesn't make sense seeing newbies on steem earning little or nothing because they have a low reputation
We need more coders. I've been messing around with the API and json on steem, and I wish I had more time to figure things out, but ya know, day job, family life, etc has to be done too.
One thing is we need coders to add more plugins to wordpress, joomla, and other CMS systems to integrate into steem, steemit etc. There are only a few coders out there making the effort and we need to support them. (hint check out and encourage @recrypto !) But anyone who finds out neat little things to use steem for should also be encouraged as well.
I am making a banner advertisement system for my blog, that is paid via steem, more for the fun of it then anything else, I'll make the code public on my blog, (my new one on the web, I'm trying to make the steemit blog just for fiction writing when I have the time, but recent posts were more for testing a theme hack for steemit).
