Once upon a time, all alone in the empty steemit ocean, there was a little baby dolphin looking for some mates to play with.

This little baby dolphin was living in the waters around Phuket, a tropical paradise island and wondering about how art reflects the time spirit.

---

Along his journey he met many other dolphins, and while little baby dolphin was only there to play, all the other dolphins wanted to teach him all about Steemit and there was so much to learn. Luckily there was also plenty of fun to have ... what a journey.

Listening to @streetstyle, who was trying to keep everybody optimistic, was a good start to get in a good mood, as there are more and more dolphins in the steemit ocean, and @dwinblood, he too wants to help steemit grow and explains what he's doing himself to do just that. And @bacchist was explaining to the other dolphins how they could do that by turning BTC into Steem Power. Luckily @anca3drandom was promoting Steemit in a creative way to keep Steemit joyful.

This while @shenanigator actually has all the questions answered;

Baby dolphin did learn a lot from @alexgr, he's such a smart dolphin, he ranks really high on the top 100 earners list, for Steem-IQ. And after 5 weeks on steemit, @cryptos gives a very detailed report on his own achievements, which gives a very realistic perspective on what to expect. Even @papa-pepper talked about his own stats to give everybody a little insight into the voting behavior of his followers. While with the vizualitions @clement made it was easy for our little dolphin to understand what happened in the last 2 weeks.

While @mindover doesn't seem to enjoy reading all that much, he prefers to listen to podcasts, but with such a fine collection, you can't blame him.

By now our little baby dolphin could surely do with some coffee and @diana.catherine always agrees with that, she's addicted to coffee, while @biophil knows how to make coffee, but nobody makes octopussy in the coffee like @smailer does!

It was in the coffee-shop that little baby dolphin started the rumor that Jimmy Carr has a secret account on Steemit under the username @glitterfart ... but don't tell anybody!

But of course, when the new 'voting slider' was announced, it created a frenzy filled with excitement, which you can see in the comments when @razvanelulmarin explains what the voting slider does. But some other dolphins had some some doubts and disappointment, @knircky sumed up the confusion it created, and then little baby dolphin swam into @venuspcs who was reminding everybody that she has rules to downvote ... she seemed a bit angry, so little baby dolphin quickly went on and found some of the serious dolphins, like @krnel who thinks the voting slider is a good thing and @creationlayer who seems to be the only one who actually knows exactly what the update was all about.

But then there's @anotherjoe, he just can't make up his mind, whether to upvote, or not to upvote ... that's the question!

Well, maybe @sauravrungta can help him to find a balance between the heart and the brain or @rea can show him the bright-sight, as she explains so graciously (in English and Chinese) how it brings us all closer together.

Meanwhile, in the Bavarian Alpes @shaka was ... staring at the rocks.

On top of it all, there's already a new feature on it's way, @stealthtrader tells all the other dolphins all there's to know about the upcoming notifications feature. And as if that's not enough, @joele has even more ideas, like adding a discussion section to the top menu, for short notices, posts that don't need a high reward, but a lot of active discussion, you know ... to discuss whether or not we should have a discussion ... It all became a bit too much for our little baby dolphin ...

And that's why our little baby dolphin was happy to run into @paco's post with some beautiful steemit design ideas, not for the developers to do, but for you ... and he even made a little video tutorial for it ... so cute!

But when @intelliguy left the earth and elevated to a new consciousness ... little baby dolphin knew it was time to go to bed and get some sleep.
