I plan on doing a smaller test run as you've suggested by creating an edition for my own city and was planning on keeping the content very light-hearted at first, focusing as you also suggest on steemit itself and simple, easy to understand explanations for the man or woman in the street to understand and get on board with but it's also a good idea to focus on some of the success stories as you say by highlighting them so I will look into that further. Maybe someone like papa-pepper would let me shine the spotlight in him. :)

I get what you're saying about only needing to start with a few people contributing and you're definitely right. Hopefully if we can get a first test issue out there it might peek the interest of more of the community and it can be as successful as I imagine it could. :)

I've seen the slothcoin tag used on a few posts and haven't investigated further til now but I'll definitley check it out. :)

Thanks a lot Kristy. I really appreciate the honest feedback and suggestions. :)
