3 Alternatives to Browse Steem When Steemit.com is Offline! ChainBB by @jesta, Busy.org by the @busy.org team, and eSteem While steemit.com appears to be under a DDOS attack today preventing most of us from browsing or using it, fortunately the Steem blockchain as a whole is decentralized and is functioning well!

Thank you to @jesta for ChainBB, the @busy.org team for busy.org which I am using to post this, and @good-karma for eSteem.

Steem Secrets
Executive summary: Go from beginner to advanced with these Steem secrets!
Steem Secret #1: Focus on Headlines and First Sentence! Half of upvoters only read the headline and the first sentence! Easiest way to get more upvotes? Spend extra time focusing on the title, and then the very first few characters which will appear in the home feed and anywhere else the post shows.
Steem Secret #2: Add a Consistent Image in Thumbnails! Putting our face or artwork on the first image helps readers in the home feed see us! Using stock images without any consistency makes it easy to be ignored in the home feed where we often just look at pictures, titles, and the first sentence to decide what to read!
Steem Secret #3: Power Up Posts When Steem Dollars Trade Below $1! Choosing the 50/50 post payout is best if SBD are trading for $1+ but Power Up 100% pays more if not! See the SBD value any time at http://www.steemdollar.com/sd_index.php which is created and maintained by @mauricemikkers.
Steem Secret #4: Bring Our Own Followers! Each of us has at least 100 potential followers in our lives from family, Facebook friends, Twitter followers, neighbors, business associates, and the contact lists in our phones! Signing up for a new Steem account and expecting people to discover us for the first time naturally while browsing is insane because most readers already have enough authors to follow.
Steem Secret #5: The Cost of Watching The Price! We have the choice to be excited when the Steem price goes up OR down! Finding peace in being here for the long term means seeing that unless we are interested in buying or selling, the price today is irrelevant.
Steem Secret #6: Witnesses Votes Give The Most! Votes on posts pay once. Votes for witness pay indefinitely up to 0.18 Steem every 63 seconds equal to over $300 A DAY in Steem Power for the top 20 witnesses! View the list of witnesses at https://steemd.com/witnesses and adjust witness votes at https://steemit.com/~witnesses.
Steem Secret #7: Appropriate Methods to Ask for Votes! How do we get more votes and followers on Steem? Asking for an upvote, a follow, a resteem, or a witness vote in an appropriate context helps a lot because often the difference in getting a vote versus not getting a vote is asking.
Earn 24% Renting Steem Power with MinnowBooster! #8 Discover the easiest method investors can use to get a returns at 24% APR by leasing Steem Power via delegation at https://www.minnowbooster.net/market. This is a GREAT ALTERNATIVE to POWERING DOWN for getting liquid Steem without having to touch the principle!
Steem Desktop Wallet = Vessel! #9 Discover a desktop wallet for our Steem blockchain named Vessel created by witness @jesta which helps a lot with Steem Power delegation, storing private keys and making transactions all without the need to use steemit.com!

With over 33,000 followers on Twitter landing a retweet by Steemit is a huge opportunity to greatly expand the reach and upvotes on a post!

Most Steem Post Views Come After Payout! #11 We ask when publishing online how many views come within 24 hours versus how many come later and what impact this has on our posting strategy? Over 80% of my views on YouTube and on my blog posts on Steemit come after 24 hours with the majority happening after 7 days!
Bring Readers to Steemit from Google Image Search! #12 How do we get discovered by users searching images in Google? What simple steps do we take to make sure our pictures have a chance to rank high in Google image search? When users find our pictures while searching for images, how easy is it to get a reader on our blog?

What is the easiest way to do that? Using Airtable to save each post into an entry on a spreadsheet is the fastest and most accessible way I know of to keep a copy of all my posts here!

Our Top 20 Witnesses Earn 250 Steem Power A Day! Votes for witnesses are the most important we make on Steem because our votes decide who earns ~ $295 a day for doing the work of creating our blockchain, which is usually what we call mining in blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Witnesses also decide whether to accept changes made by Steemit, what the price of Steem is worth relative to the SBD, which updates should be made in the future, and generally do Steem full time in the top 20.
Meet Steem's Top 10 Witnesses! Witnesses create the Steem blockchain and our witness votes decide who gets to produce each block at https://steemit.com/~witnesses.

Setting Up A Linux VPS Securely (Pt.1) - Join Me On My Journey to Become a Witness Along with a goal to get to Level 70 Reputation, I also wanted to host a node for the blockchain, and see about becoming a Steem Witness. That was after getting the rep level first, that I now have. So, I am continuing with the vision I had months ago, and am going to document or journal my journey to setup a Steem Witness Node.
Setting Up A Linux VPS Securely (Pt.2) Welcome back to the second part of securing your Linux Server. I won't talk about becoming a witness, or what a witness is, until I actually get to that part of the setup myself. This is about securing a server first.
Secure Your Linux Server with a Firewall A firewall is the last point of contact before anyone in the vast internet can get into your server. Getting a firewall up is crucial before deploying a server online. UFW means Uncomplicated Firewall and is included in Ubuntu.
Secure Your Linux Server with Fail2Ban by @krnel! Fail2Ban monitors log files to determine if someone who is trying to gain access is a legitimate user. If they aren't, they get banned temporarily by their IP address. Policies can be setup in conjunction with a firewall to log failed access attempts and drop traffic for a period of time, preventing a would-be attacker from even attempting to access your services.
Secure Your Linux Server with Tripwire IDS by @krnel. Security is continually developing, and you can't be sure to have locked down every possible vulnerability for some pesky hacker to get in through. An intrusion detection system will run a check of your system and compare it to a snapshot stored database of what your system previously looked like. Changes that you are not aware of indicate a possibly compromised system. @krnel thank you for writing this guide!
How to: Configuring more frequent time synchronisation on Ubuntu Since they will be removing an inbuilt NTP client in steemd, it is important for witnesses to configure time synchronisation on their servers.
