Cool Steem Resources: Steem Block Explorer

You might already know that Steem is a cryptocurrency, but I bet you've forgotten anyway. It's easy to do, believe me I know.

I believe that a good cryptocurrency needs a really good blockchain explorer, and boy does Steem have a good one.

steemblockexplorer.com was created by @penguinpablo, the very same penguin who created steemnow.com.

While there is some overlap of information, Steem Block Explorer trims away a lot of the fat and delivers the raw goods. There are even hidden gems and useful features inside of this site that aren't apparent on the surface.

An important feature that many blockchain explorers don't even have, this check box at the top left corner of this site lets you see every event -as it happens- for your Steem account.

Go ahead and type your steem account name into the search bar. You don't need to use the @ symbol.

steemblockexplorer.com has a very visually pleasing layout, i think.

In the list of events for your account, just about everything is clickable, and from there you will go even deeper and discover more features.

Or (if you are still on the main page), you can scroll down to the bottom section and you will see a list for every detail you could want or need about your account, including your account ID (a number that represents how many accounts were already created before you, +1 for you), your account name, how many vested shares your account owns, etc.

But alas, I won't go over every last detail of the page, because if you've made it this far and joined Steemit, I can only assume you are an intelligent and curious human being that likes to discover something for yourself too. Make steemblockexplorer.com your home, because you will find it very useful in your progress as a growing Steemian.

Thank you for reading. I hope you have a wonderful and prosperous day.
