100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 31 - Weekly Roundup #4

We’ve shifted things around this week and moved our Weekly Roundup to Sunday instead of Friday.

It’s been a busy, busy week here on the 100 Days project.

We’ve made some great steps forward, but there is still much to do and now only 69 days remaining in this project.

But it won’t all come to halt on Day #100. That will just be the end of a new beginning.

What happens from Day #101 is up to everyone...

Steem Greeters and Helping Newcomers

Helping newcomers to the platform is obviously all important to improve retention and to let the world know that Steem offers a welcoming and supportive community.

As a part of a wider strategy to improve the whole onboarding experience for new users on Steem we are setting up a Newcomers Community and recruiting a number of ‘Steem Greeters’.

The first four Steem Greeters have now just been selected and we look forward to recruiting more in the coming weeks and months…

• 100 DAYS OF STEEM : Day 30 - Steem Greeters & Social Promoters

It is going to be great to have @cmp2020, @cryptokannon, @kiwiscanfly and @mariita52 out in the community helping newcomers to Steem.

Also this past week we ran a Nominate a Newcomer Challenge that highlighted some great new users on Steem including @rashia in the Philippines (nominated by @cryptokannon) and @tocho2 in Venezuela (nominated by @kiwiscanfly).

Please do go and check out @rashia and @tocho2 and all the other newcomers nominated in the challenge.

We are very happy with what we have achieved this week, but as we approach the one third point in this 100 Days Project we appreciate there is much, much more to do.

There are still big challenges ahead and we will be doing our best to address these in a timely and positive way as we move forward.

But we can’t do it alone. Our resources are not unlimited.

We need the community to step up to play their part. Not just the witnesses but everyone.

Steem is not just blocks in a chain, it is people in a community.

We have been absolutely thrilled to see so many people coming forward already to enter challenges, to run contests and competitions, to become Community Creators and Steem Greeters.

Now we are putting out a new call to everyone to join in, to post, to comment, to vote, to participate, to engage, to organize, to develop, to help drive Steem forward.

Thank you,

The Steemit Team
