Today I spent time scrolling through some new user-accounts checking out their introduction posts and then scrolling through about 6-8 subsequent posts and was happy to find some really interesting introductions and follow up posts. I also found some not so good ones as well of course. No surprises there I think.
It brought to mind my own introduction post from some 8 months ago so I laboriously scrolled back to it for a read. Hmm, things have changed a little since then, with my professional life at least, but otherwise I'd probably write it in a similar way now. I did notice I said I was "40 years old or so" which was about 7 years away from the mark...But who's counting right? See my first post here
It made me think about the value of a person's first post and how it could be perceived by existing users and used to rate or judge the newbie of worthy or unworthy of a follow. It also reminded me of the very first people to comment on my initial blog some of them are still with me too. Thank you for your support one and all. You can see who they are if you check out the post and I urge you to go and check out their blogs.
So I was thinking, after scrolling back through many posts to get back to my first one, that it would be really cool to have a users very first post pinned at the top of their blog for all time. In doing so they could be reminded of where their steemit journey began and it would serve as an enduring introduction to anyone who came across their blog at a later date. It may also serve to sharpen up some of the blogs as the user would know it would be read by everyone who clicked through to their blog, not just the few who happened to catch it the first time.
It's just a thought that struck me this afternoon and I figured it may be a good idea. Of course, it's not possible in the format we use at the moment however maybe in the future it might; Maybe users will be able to work off a timeline on a person's blog and travel at will around each other's steemit journey. Above is a link to my first post so if you follow me and haven't read it feel free to do so and if you have followed me from the start head there to recall why you did!
