This was the first year anniversary week for Pimp Your Post Thursday. Hard to believe it’s still going strong but it’s great to see.

Someone made the comment to me that it shows staying power on my part. That is true to an extent but it shows a lot more that there is value in doing the shows. They provide a way for people to get to know each other and exposure for their posts.

I love the variety of the conversations that are sparked. Usually they stem from the content of a post. The Ramble and in particular PYPT is a place where people from all parts of STEEM can meet each other.

Remember, comments on the posts are just as important as the upvotes.

This is the replay of the morning session:

Posts Shared for Those Not Present:

One of the things I enjoy on PYPT is the number of guests who share posts for others. Here are some of the people who had posts shared and were not present at PYPT: @gmuxx, @thesteemengine, @sk43, @fiftysixnorth, @danielapetk, @zen-art, @ginabot, @msp-waves, @audreybits, @sndbox, @steemitblog, @morangallery, @anutu, @ninahaskin.

Come on in and join the fun. Clearly there are people who attend PYPT who enjoy your work.

The Giveaway

A giveaway was held for each session with the winners who were present and active receiving an Steem Basic Income Share each.

I increased the winners at each session to three for this week to mark PYPT’s one year anniversary.

Congrats to: @sgt-dan @thekittygirl @xcountytravelers @mandelsage @katrina-ariel @snook

The purpose of PYPT is for Steemians to bring along a recent post, share it with the assembled and talk about the post and their blog.

PYPT is one of a growing number of shows being broadcast live on @ramblingradio.

Support the @steemitramble Manual Curation project

I’ve been doing a manual curation project since August 2016. Recently I moved the project to its own account @steemitramble, to continue to work to bring forth quality posts for followers to be able to support. Doing this separates my personal posts from the curation project.

In addition to reading and upvoting the Steemit Ramble and those featured in it, you can support the project and the authors featured in it by:

Delegating even as much as 25 SP to @steemitramble -- this will increase the voting power of the account when it votes on those curated. Delegating is like loaning me some of your Steem Power so I can vote on others posts with a larger vote.
Join the curation trail on SteemAuto and then join the curation trail. The trail is called Steemit Ramble

Conclusion

Don’t forget, you can visit the Steemit Ramble discord at anytime. I encourage you to visit the Curation channel where other curators on the platform share their curation posts. You’ll find some excellent posts to read in those curation posts. Pimp Your Post Thursday attendees can add their posts to their own channel.

You can nominate others posts in the #nominate-someones-post channel. If I use your nomination in the Steemit Ramble, a periodic curation post I do, then you can nominate your own posts in #nominate-your-post channel.

There is a growing reference section containing posts of value on the platform and about writing. Writing is a craft and one we want to do well when producing content on the platform

If you are too busy to share, there is a post promotion channel. I might look in there some day. Steemit is about sharing and building community.
