In a selfless act of monumental proportions, FTGs Steem Power has been loaned out to over 40 users to help curate and support communities across Steemit.

If you have received an up-vote from myself, or anyone else on the following list over the past month or so, then you have @fulltimegeek to thank for the much larger vote you have been gifted.

If you wish to know 'why?' someone would loan out this Steem Power, you can find out here.

Steward Activities

Delegation

Some stewards are currently delegating small amounts of Steem Power to new users that are heading in the right direction and just need that extra push to keep them going.

For example, reaching 500 Steem Power is really sweet if you are using steemit.com as your main interface, as with 500 SP you can choose to lower your voting weight and give more votes each day. A delegation of 50 or 100 SP is such a boost at that level -I was pretty happy to get to 500 Steem Power :)

Contests

We also have some contests that run weekly and some special one-offs. This is a nice way to pay forward some of the kindness shown by FTG and can be great for building communities.

If you would like to enter my weekly contest, based around curation and engagement, with a chance to win some SBD then let me know in the comments.

To the numbers we go!

Stats and Star Stewards

This week, the Stewards have written a total of 7733 comments and cast 23517 up-votes.

Last week these totals were 7042 and 22509 respectively and so engagement in these areas has increased nicely this week.

Also, less self-votes than the previous week. More sharing I guess!

@cranium and @cecicastor, out on their own with over 500 comments and @taskmaster4450 with over 100,000 characters in his 261 comments in the past 7 days - hail keyboards!

@luisucv34, @lyndsaybowes, @cecicastor, @stackin, @coolguy123, @howtostartablog, and @hitmeasap, all handing out over 1000 votes this past week - up-vote legends!

@howtostartablog - Master steward of goodwill to all with over 1200 unique Steemians reached with his votes this past week - how to spread SP!

Summary

So Stewards, how do you think you've done this week?

The price of Steem has fallen a little since the last post but our vote value is still much higher than it was before Christmas - when most of us received out delegated SP.

I think it's still a good time to vote more frequently and with a lower weight, but each to their own of course :)

Thank you!

On to the final sentence of this blog, where I try to find another way to say how grateful I am to @fulltimegeek.

Many of the Stewards now visit my blog frequently and I'm trying to do the same - I see contests, delegations, and some really talented and heartfelt writing, and I feel you're playing a huge part in encouraging this gift-giving mentality. Thanks man!

Steem-on Stewards!
