RE: Hey Steemit Family!! What was YOUR 1st blog post you authored on here, and WHY? | E.8 | Post it!! | Community Engagement Series.
Yep, I'm planning to stick with Steemit, but I'm like you -- I like to have some time away from the screen. I've been writing a lot of posts about writing and editing for Steemit, and I'm currently working on a website/blog where I can reshare and archive that content. The one challenge with Steemit is that the stuff we create here seems to have a short shelf life. But I think Steemit and the new site will be enough to manage for a while, which is why I gave up my "fun" blog.
I'll check out your post. Peanut butter and hiking -- sounds like a good time! Lol!
Ah yeah, trust me with a FT j-o-b, the website and Steemit will be PLENTY of work, hah. Actually a pretty cool idea with having that blog to share what you post on Steem. The "traditional" view , or at least how I thought of it seems to be blog first, Steem second...I'll have to consider that moving forward as I start posting more here (I've resolved not to post too often for the near future in favor of commenting, until I can build up a bit more traction - something I wrote about https://steemit.com/help/@jobsande/best-steemit-newbie-strategy-posting-vs-commenting).
True about the short shelf life, yep that is the big downside to taking a ton of time crafting a well-thought out post, editing, etc only to have it get 10 views, a couple quick comments, then be forgotten. This is exactly why I'm sticking to 95% commenting for now.
Thanks, it was my buddy and it was quite the experience :P I did go through something similar myself though, might have to make that a future post...
