Where does the time go, it seems like just a few days since my last vlog and yet here we are again. With the Easter Weekend upon us I have at least got a little extra time off work to spread around family and Steemit. It has been another Steady week, trying to balance my time and get around as many posts as I can for this vlog turned curation post.
If you wish to TRANSLATE https://jpst.it/1d4fg
Sunday was a steady day, I spent the Afternoon with my Dad and cooked him Sunday lunch, and then on the way back I found the perfect opportunity to do bad karaoke for @simgirl and @snook competition. This is a fun content everyone can join in - because all you have to do it sing - badly!
You don't even have to be on camera if you are little camera shy like me (🤣) I have really enjoyed the entries this week, although to be fair @longsilver and @fishyculture were far too good this In spite of ourselves by John Prine was just perfect and they did it as a duet so well.
When it comes to Sunday it has to be #SublimeSunday and we had some incredible entries to the tag this week. First up this amazing bull street art by @vee2180 .
Then @krazypoet entertained with this stunning fishing boat done with a stylish #FunkyEdit . @fishyculture sneaked in her own entry in a post that took Multi Tags to the next level - it included two challenge entries as well Sublime and Funky Bee Pics
There was an Early Easter entry by @mcoinz79 which was really refreshing to see family celebrating when they could all get together, it can be so difficult when members live far away. A new and welcome entry to the tag came from @phelimint with this Snowman a little short of snow which was super fun and made me think of what you would find inside Olaf!
@smartphoto continues to impress with his photography editing - this statue of a naughty little boy could have almost been designed with the football outfit on. And then this amazing rocky stream had a hidden secret from @maruharraca. And then @old-guy-photos managed to capture the sun in a piece of glass in an incredible photo.
Over the weekend @saffisara took a break from her usual busy schedule, but still managed to come up with a new challenge - Drink it or Sink it the funny thing is it was meant to just be a fun story about her evening but many people were keen to join in the challenge! And then I discovered a new competition and tag Kolegas where you share pictures of toys the tag #kolegas is actually quite clever, it means Friends in Spanish and @txatxy would like us to share our toy friends in a photograph either in our own posts or in the comments of that post. I have not done my post yet, but hope to do so soon. I also enjoyed this fountain in black and white by @oizaguirres with a clever angle for his photo.
I was surprised to find on Tuesday that I had reached 1 Year Anniversary on Steemit that's right, Steemians have been putting up with my nonsense for over a year, it's surprising in that time nobody has worked out how to get rid of me yet - but there is still time! Surprising I was joined in this celebration by @battleaxe - who joined the same day, and in fact of the 250 people who did join that day a year ago - only 16 remain actively posting.
This leads me nicely onto @chardonnaylambo The Steemit Name Challenge where we discover more about the names people choose for their Steemit account . It was started by @felobtc and has quickly taken off, notable entries were @snowpea who does not own an Antarctic pea plantation and why do people hide behind cryptic usernames which was an interesting point by @carrieallen .
I was fascinated to learn Comitment, Respect, Integrity and Solidarity from @crisangel and then I was able to learn how gmail helped @coolguy123 come up with his unique Steemit name. And I took a trip to the moon with @ilhuna
By the time we reached humpday I was enjoying this picture of USS Constellation by @dabeckster and I took a train journey with @steemflow leaving his family in the countryside while going back to the city to work. I discovered that sick bears eat seafood to recover with @bearone and found some lovely Easter cupcakes made by @thekitchenfairy .
I got stressed out by @nainaztengra and discovered how to overcome a panic attack with @zen-art which turned out to be a quite inspirational post. Finally I learned have you reached your goals in March with @crazybgadventure who has really done incredibly well and has become very active in a wide range of communities.
On Thursday I got a high five from @enginewitty and then discovered where to get your photography touched up by @mikesthoughts which is ideal if you have a special picture you would like a little extra enhancement to.
When it comes to photography @tattoodjay can always impress, this waterfall in black and white is incredible with the water almost frozen as it is falling. And keeping with the water theme this poem and ocean wave photo by @dmcamera is very special. I also got to enjoy some incredible rock formations while hiking at Cherokee Rock Village with @sweetscience
Writing a story is difficult enough, when it is limited to 1111 characters it's a real challenge, so I was impressed with this story prompted by change by @tygertyger very creative. From words to pictures, this Nature day at the circe R Ranch is an incredible story through photography with some amazing birds including an Owl and Falcons and even a 14 year old tortoise! And @warpedweaver threw out a very sneaky oil slick picture that isn't exactly as it seems.
I do like a good #Haturday , although I have run out of hats to do one in - I have couple more somewhere in the house but people have tidied up (dumped everything in cupboards) since I last saw them. Anyway this is a particularly fetching hat that makes @katrina-ariel look like a private investigator. And then @ninahaskin shared this photograph of a 10 gallon cowboy hat which could have made a very good #Haturday
I was yet again impressed @huslein.slash his art Dolphins with crayons drawn on a tiny sticky note! And then @baby07 shared some incredible morning dew on grass
@edthecandian has been burning the midnight oil restoring a 70's Mustang it's certainly aged better then I have! Then the mysterious @cygon told me the legend of pang tong .
There was an interesting Leaving Facebook or Steemit post by @maxabit. And then I enjoyed a bit of ice hockey with @dadview . Sticking with the family feel @arrliinn took me on a trip to the playground
@fiftysixthnorth took me on a trip to the Guiness factory with a very precisely focused photo. Meanwhile @moonunit shared his breakfast with me.
Finally at Friday, and @dswigle kicked off #MarketFriday by showing us oranges are not the only fruit. And then @deerjay took me to the Cracker Barrel in a post that had more wonderful pictures then even the swirl herself! I enjoyed a tour around a thrift store with @deadgrlsuppastar . And @icybc even shared some wonderful Easter Wreaths with amazing flowers and even coloured eggs.
And of course Friday would not be the same without All Play Friday with @topkpop - this week I managed to stay up until it started rather then risk hitting the sleep button and turning over when my alarm went off like I did last week. This week it was another superb show, supporting amazing musical artists from all over Steemit. The ever quality @avesa was on the play list, earlier this week I enjoyed his triptrap earlier this week and we got treated to another of his musical pieces during the show.
I also enjoyed during the show and amazing ANTE UP Remix by @scuzzy combing hip hop and rap to creature a unique musical style. And then Umbrella drinks and Hand Grenades from @inthenow is a heady combination of fast beat and synth. There was even some funky jazz from @sircork
For charity this week we have Thankful Thursday by @fishyculture and also You are HOPE Donation drive by @inthenow . You can upvote either or both even of these posts to help support charitable works on Steemit - the funds from the post payouts will be donated to @yourarehope , and you can of course donate directly to @youarehope if you can.

And that was my vlog, and a few of the blog posts I visited on Steemit this week. It has been busy at work so I have not had chance to do as many comments as I would like. That's life though, and you know how it goes

The greatest challenge we face on Steemit is getting our posts seen, I have always believed the simplest and best value way of doing this is by commenting on the blog posts of others, the more you engage people and interact with them the greater the chance they will visit your own blog and return to the favour.

I must say, that since I have found you on Steemit, I really look forward to seeing your posts. I really love and enjoy the posts you do and I am a follower for life. Thanks to you sir!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post and leave a comment.
You are very welcome sir.
I love these caps, thanks for the shout out, you rock! Congrats on your Steemaversary!
Thank you very much, I appreciate you calling in and leaving a comment.
You've just reminded me about #Haturday again. I must get a photograph of me or Hubby in our hats.
You have had a busy week both in real life and on Steemit. :D
Thank you very much, it’s always a busy week. I must make sure I don’t miss your #Haturday
Hi you! I hope you had a Happy Easter! I can't believe I missed you on Friday night! It was Good Friday and Easter had already kicked off at this house. We do have fun at her show. Catcalls work best.
Thank you for giving me a great mention/shout out for #MarketFriday. We do get some of the best blogs around featuring places around the globe. And yes! What do you think about @deerjay putting up more pictures than this girl could possibly count?
You have outdone yourself with capturing the entire week in one post like this. I bow down to you. Can you sing it to me? I mean, pretty please? You know you want to. We have all heard you now.
Thanks again for the great vlog and congratulations on your one year anniversary. Dude!! You are aging right before my very eyes!
Cut it out.
Have a great week, another VLOG due in four days!
Upped and Steemed Tip!
Thank you very much, I was very impressed with @deerjay #MarketFriday post it was filled with delightful pictures such a perfect post. Thanks for the anniversary mention, but it can only mean @old-guy-photos has been here much longer then 1 year!
Sir @c0ff3a thank you for mentioning my dew photography...I take pride of it and thank you it was seen by you...its my pleasure that you include me in your post.
Thank you very much for calling in and leaving a couple moment, I always enjoy your posts and like to share them.
What a nice way to remember everything you have gone through in last few days and come up with this wonderful vlog. You command over words and adjust them to construct a sentence from the post name is awesome.
Definitely a great achievement to sum up everything in one blog and also give an opportunity to others to get a glance of what your friends' recent achievement through their posts.
I hope you had some good time on Easter.
I am sure Sunday is almost done for you, so have a great week ahead :)
Thank you very much my friend, the weeks are getting longer and harder for me on here - so many people and posts and only so many hours in the day. I'm trying to stick with manual curation at the moment to stop my Vote Power draining so quickly - but even I can't get everywhere I would like to all the time. Thank you for calling in and leaving a comment, I wish you a very good week as well.
I agree with you @c0ff33a, more than 8 hours of work at your shop, then family and then to Steemit isn't easy, but you are doing that.
Yeah, curation trails eventhough helps us, but there is no control on voting power, I have disabled most of the trails and auto vote is only on few trusted members.
Thanks for the wishes, I hope you too had a nice day
Lol..you put up with quite a bit of nonsense as well (wink wink)! Thanks @c0ff33a for the shout out and putting up with me!! I'm sure you've already heard it many times today but you're pretty awesome!! Congratulations on your Steemit Anniversary and Happy Easter to you and your family!! ❤
Thank you very much, I always appreciate you taking the time to look through my post and leave a comment. Everyday is entertaining for me in Steemit - you would not believe the things I get up to when nobody is looking! It's all good fun though, thank you for the congratulations and kind wishes, I hope you and your family had a wonderful easter as well.
you put so much energy into this post I could almost feel it shooting across the pond. Now, just need to drag you into Pimp Your Post Thursday to hear that energy when you're presenting LOL
Thank you very much, honestly the last thing you want to hear presenting a show is me - did you miss my attempt at Karaoke! I have a face for radio and a voice for silent movies. I should try and call in to Pimp Your Post Thursdays because everyone raves about it so much.
that sounds like a plan ... i promise I wont ask you to sing. I consider it a public service that I don't attempt to sing. :)
Finally I can see again your amazing weekly vlog. I like how you tell us you activity in a week and bring many steemians in your text. Besides that you describe it all to be an interesting story. Thanks you so much
Thank you very much my friend, I always appreciate you calling in although this is not so easy for you to translate. It take me some time to put this post together - I do enjoy sharing all my favourite posts with people though and maybe it will help a few people find new content creators to follow.
You're welcome friend, I think if I often to reading it will improve my english skill too. Yeah you are the best supporter other steemians. I hope I can do it one day.
OMG , very nice post , and so beautiful narrated , i have become a fan of you..... ;-)
@adityajainxds #thealliance
Thank you very much, you are way too kind. I appreciate you calling in and leaving a comment.
Wow! This post is chalk full of awesomeness and even I was mentioned? Geez you are too sweet. I love what you do and how much you share on here. Even your posts are giving to others just by mentioning them. This vlog thing you do is quite unique I must say.
Thanks for being an amazing supporter of my show in so many ways and for staying up super late to attend it. Also, thanks for being a really kind and awesome steemian, you certainly make many many many peoples days with your comments. Never change, you are awesome!
Thank you so much, you are too kind and I really appreciate you calling in on my post and leaving a comment. I love your show, such a wonderful format sharing amazing music and fun quiz games - makes my week when I can stay awake to join in! Everyone says I do good comments, I just don't see it myself I just reply to what I read in posts.
What's Haturday!? Is that real?? I can play that game!
#Haturday is a tag started by @saffisara , it's a tag to share a selfie of you wearing a hat - that is it. Any day, any reason just wear a hat, take a selfie and post with the tag. Super fun, I normally combine mine into an existing post rather then do a unique post because of time limitations - but it can be whatever you wish. Thank you very much for taking the time to look through my post and leave a comment, I really appreciate it.
the days you miss very beautiful with family, thank you for sharing @coff33a, hopefully always successful and happy.
Thank you very much, I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and leave a comment.
I love how you always sump up what everyone was posting on one brilliant blog!
Thanks for being you ❤️
Thank you very much, I tried to fit even more people in - but it was just taking me longer and longer to do. And I don't think I managed to get it to flow as well it could have - it's tricky to try and make it a story instead of just being lot's of random links to posts.
Man you sure get around the 'chain. I still say you have a twin that takes care of your day job☕
Thank you very much, fortunately a good portion of my day job is in front of a computer so I can switch between work, discord and Steemit fairly rapidly which helps fill in the gaps. That and a few late nights when I can handle it. It helps my boys are quite grown up now so don’t demand so much attention - except when they want me to game with them. We spent yesterday afternoon on ROBLOX we each have our own accounts and run around causing chaos to the bemusement of the other players. Of course being an American game I keep getting in the right side of the cars, ask my boy why my car doesn’t work and he goes “you sat in the passenger side” 🤣
Ok... I have not had my morning coffee yet and it took me more than you would expect to stop freaking out and screaming at the screen "What are you doing?!", "Wrong way!". Figuring out that it is a normal side of the road for you and calming down was the funny shock thing that woke me up. No more watching your vlogs before coffee.
Come on brain, you re better than this...
Yes this does happen quite alot of people get confused by this - I really did not realise how much of a minority drivers who get into the right side of a car and drive on the left side of the road are. Thank you very much for calling in, I am glad you got over the shock.
Just add some boobs to Jim Carey and change his hair, that was my reaction spot on :D
Thanks @c0ff33a for such an in depth post and mentioning some great people :)
Thank you very much, I always appreciate you calling in and leaving a comment :-)
Thank you for this wonderful Vlog buddy! :)
And thank you for always taking the time to visit my posts and leave a comment, always very much appreciated :-)
Another awesome vlog that was really fun to check out : )
Thank you very much, I appreciate you always taking the time to check them out and leave a comment.
Well the fastest thing that is moving constantly is "TIME" since i joined the #steemit i went through several blogs and even i wrote several comments and interacted with many beautiful souls here. But it all seems that i started yesterday.
I am so thankful that you are playing your functional role for the betterment of the members of this platform @c0ff33a
Stay Blessed :)
Thank you very much, I just enjoy sharing all the posts that I enjoy so they are a little easier for other people to find.
Awesome Post my friend! :-D Congrats on the Year as well. And thx for the shout out to the YAH posts, and All Play Friday. Have a great evening. :-)
Thank you very much, I have managed to bug the hell out of people on here for a whole year - amazing really you all still put up with me. I can never have enough love for @youarehope they do so much good and you can really see - through the beauty of the blockchain - just what is done with the funds and how much it helps the people who need it most. @topkpop and All Play Friday has to be one of my best finds on Steemit, I love the show and the discord chat is so much fun and entertainment - it might start at 1am my time but staying up late is more then worth it - the chat is always full of incredible people - some I know and some new accounts to follow - and you can win Steem for an added bonus. Good times, thanks for calling in on my lengthy post.
I'm just gonna hit this with a 100% upvote and say thanks for spreading the cheer amongst some fantastic people! Love this recap of the week and all the friends I see included. ((hugs))
Aww thank you so much you are always too kind for me, but spare a little of that upvote for all our amazing content creators out there - I enjoy making this post to share the content I enjoy so others might have the chance to enjoy and share it too. Too much incredible content get's seen so little, and I hate to think some people will just get discouraged if they keep posting and feel it's not appreciated - that's why I have started Resteeming everything I come across and enjoy - it might loose my own posts in a swamp of everyone else's but it's making my blog an easy go to list if you want to quickly find quality posts to upvote! 🤗
Good post and shout outs, well done bro as always, stay awesome
Thank you very much, it keeps getting harder and however much I try I can not get to every single post or creator I would like. I like to share as much as I can, anything to help people creating amazing content get found and also help to connect accounts on here - it shouldn't be so hard to get your content seen but really it is - if one person finds a new account to follow through this post then it was more then worth the good 12hours I spent putting it together!
Thank you very much my friend, I saw you pop in and out of All Play Friday I was myself busy multitasking, while enjoying the show I also managed to come up with a #Showyoureyes post for the tag started by @saffisara and continued on my mission to upvote and comment on as many posts and creators on Steemit I could find. And I still need to do my post for @txatxy and her friends tag #kolegas - will you be doing a post to share your friends?
Thank you for supporting me and all these others it is very kind of you🌸💕🌸
Thank you very much, you are too kind I try my best to get around as many posts as I can - it's difficult though there are so many and in trying to cover so many different accounts I will always miss some I wished to include - so I have to try and mix and match doing different ones each week. So much incredible content exists on Steemit, but it is still so hard to easily find and enjoy it - I just like to try and make a little bridge between people and content - and enjoy sharing what I liked so it's rewarding for me as well.
Nice hat!
Thank you very much fish out of water boy, have you managed to complete that game yet?
I love this post!! It's such a cool idea, first of all, to post about your travels on steemit, while travelling haha, but more importantly, to give an appreciative shout-out to so many people. I am always big on showing your appreciation to others, and your post does that beautifully. Plus, it's a great way for readers to head out there and start learning about some other steemians. I recognize a few names, but not many...so I know what I'm doing this weekend ;)
Congratulations on your anniversary as well! I've only been here three and a half months, but it feels much longer (in a good way;), because I have purposefully joined different groups, genuinely commented and developed a lot of awesome relationships. Your post, if it's ok, is one I would like to duplicate, or at the very least, suggest to others to do...of course giving you credit for the idea. I am a member of several groups who help new people here, and my first advice is to always look out and learn from others, don't focus on your own posts...this is a perfect example of that!
Hope you're having an awesome weekend:) Thanks again for a lovely post!
Thank you very much, I always appreciate a good comment and you made an entire post out of yours! This is a evolution of the video vlog I have done for many years on YouTube - but when I moved to Steemit it felt like just leaving a YouTube video link was not going to cut it as a post - so I started taking screen grabs of various points and making a little story out of what I was talking about in the vlog. The pictures turned to gifs to make it more lively on the page, and then I started to add in the blog pages I had enjoyed on Steemit.
And that is how it came about, but I honestly can not say this is a unique to me format - plenty of people makes posts that mention and link to other posts - apparently it's called a Curation post. So feel free to do whatever you fancy as far as creating posts that share the posts you love - I think it's the best way to share content and connect more people with posts they might enjoy.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post an leave such a lovely comment.
#thealliance
Thank you so much, that's sweet of you to say! I really believe in genuine commenting so thank you for noticing. And thanks for the 'curation' idea as well; you may not be the original inventor, but you did a great job here with it. You should check out #shoutoutsaturdays; an initiative started by @crazybgadventure, who you mention here ;) It's a chance to write a post on Saturdays mentioning three new steemians you encountered during the week and how they affected you. Pretty awesome!
Thank you again for the kind words! Cheers!
