RE: How Boot Hill Got It's Name

in #history7 years ago

Good read. Before this article, I really thought the cowboy was the cowboy town in Hollywood movies. Love the way you described Tex got shot in the head and he's not going to kick much part. @tipu upvote this post with 0.2 SBD please.

Sort:  

well thank you sir, I've been doing a series on the Old West history because of all the misconceptions about it. I've heard someone mention @tipu but don't know who or what it is but I certainly thank you!

@tipu is a tipping service. Check your upvote list, tipu is there to give you one of the highest up vote funded by myself.

The way you delivered this piece reminds me of a friend from Arizona by the name of Mark Gresin. He taught me majority of my English skill. I can no longer reached him for god knows reasons. Keep up the good work, I shall drop by your blog regularly. Deeply appreciate your work.

thank you sir! well, I just try to make history not so boring and if it helps to educate people then that's my goal. I've having a problem with having enough time to do proper research for a good post but still keep in touch and support many others while trying to get work in the "real world" done, you apparently are doing well, how do you prioritize and balance everything?

You may not wanna learn from me. But the way I go is slowly, but steadily build relationship with a circle of friends. I don't #follow them as usually follow will make my feed cluttered. All I do is to remembering certain tag that I used regularly. Time to time I will swing by these tags and find these similar buddies that are like minded. For example, the tag you're using is history, you can choose to make a post first. After which when you reread your own post checking for error, then click on the tag. Rearrange the layout with NEW instead of trending. From there, you can selectively check on anything within 24 hours time frame. Usually curation time is less than 40 minutes for me. Most of my time spent on researching and replying messages, like this one. Make it more like a hobby, rather than feeling pressured by vomiting out a post. I myself sometimes does shit post when I feel lazy to blog properly. But shit post doesn't simply means I plagiarized or make ultra short post. Shit post can be some good shit also. Like if I went for lunch, I know I'm gonna blog about it, I will write a story about how I got to the restaurant, meeting who, what did I ordered, how's the service, was it worth it and so on. That would beefed up the shit posts with tremendous amount of useful information sharing. Category wise, to me all food blog are shit blogs. Whether it's good shit or bad shit, one will have to decide by themselves. Sorry voting power low. Or else gotta give you another one. Keep it going dude! Feel free to drop by and hit me if you need some answers or someone who willingly to make a shit comment like this one to cheer you up!

lol! this is definitely NOT a S___ comment! However I don't think I've ever seen a comment with that many S___ words in it! lol.
I like the way that you take a simple post and flesh it out so that it isn't just an s___ post, that's very efficient and has to produce good posts starting from not much, probably that kind ends up being as popular or more than one you spent hours on.

thanks so much for the advice and instructive information. The food posts do seem to be very easy in alot of ways and I'm shocked at how much money some of them seem to be bringing in!

that's a dangerous thing to say to me..to drop in if I want answers or comments, are you familiar with Asher's Engagement League?
Thank you sir!

Apologize on so much of shit flying out. I was just saying, food blog has always been less meaning blog because the only depth in these posts has always been about the person who blog, not the food itself. Put the same heart attack burger in front, ask a bikini girl hold it and take a portrait photograph with that plate, you only need 3 words "my lunch here" and you can get a huge payout compare to asking a short ass Chinese dude like myself, even if I go stark naked having a selfie with the same burger, and if I make a 3000words fully scale biblical version of food intro, I'd still get low upvotes or probably even get flagged. Sometimes life is unfair, but what is? Don't bother about how much others got paid, what most important are view counts. Start engaging with communities. I have no idea what Asher's Engagement is, I'm gonna find out later. All I know is, I will try to answer all comments.

On the side note, historian can do it this way, by chunking down 1 full topic into small topics. What is Tex doing there? What's his significant? Do a biography for Tex alone. Then another day for the gambler. You don't have to make the post a full topic and close file. This is not X-file. I'm not giving instruction, but over the past few months I've learn how to tease my readers when I'm doing Chinese blog.

howdy @davidke20! lol..man you're really funny! You are Chinese?
are there alot of Chinese on Steemit?
