A Self Serving Post

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

I have been around Steemit now for almost two years, I have seen friends (and enemies) come and go. I have written about a whole range of subjects which to new friends and followers are not very obvious unless they scroll down and down and down ….



I was enthralled to come across the Bird Lady of NH recently, and a few of her followers who were also amateur ornithologists. Whilst doing my daily ‘walk the dog’ activity this morning I decided I wanted to share some of my bird stuff with her and her followers.

Republishing a previous post is frowned on here, and the ever watchful bot Cheetah usually comes along with chastisement so I was a bit wary to do that although I thik one could get away with it if you give yourself credit and explain it as a repost?

me …… because this post is about me

Then I had this brainwave (yes, only one…. I have a small, very preoccupied brain) to ‘advertise’ my Steemian career to date, publishing highlights of what I have done in the past twenty two months. Full of enthusiasm I opened my blog and started to scroll down … and down…. and down

It soon became abundantly clear that deciding which are ‘highlights’ was rather onerous and time consuming, so I decided to give links to some of the categories I have written about. Certainly for me my favourites are ‘Music Legends’, ‘In the Kitchen’ and ‘Dining Out in Cape Town’, but photography and music in general feature rather frequently

So like the little Cape Wagtail below …. Get your feet wet and go check parts of @themagus journey. I would like that and I promise you will have some fun.

2 years? I think my brain just cramped! Holy cannoli, Batman - that's, like, 99 years on Facebook!

Bird Lady of NH, eh? Who is this chick - sounds like someone I'd get along with... mostly... LOL!

Since you're all like, an Ancient Steemian, you probably already know this, but there's apparently some kind of zombie initiative that aims to raise posts of interest from past post payout purgatory.

Great snowy selfie shot. A few days ago (when temps were 30sF/3C) I was so sick of seeing the white stuff, but as we've suddenly hit a heat wave (yesterday was 80sF/30C and today should be the same), this looks invitingly chilly.

OMG! That little Wagtail is ALL THE THINGS!!!!

I'm off now to peruse your old offerings. And while I'm not nearly as ancient as you (in Steemit terms - I think I might have you beat in human years), I might do a similar post somewhere down the line.

Fair warning - I'll be back at random times to comment here on what I find there... 😊
