A very informative post. Many minnows (such as myself) do not know much about how to curate. While we may learn the basics soon after joining Steemit, we don't learn how to curate effectively.
So, thanks for this post, and the links to the other posts. While I am primarily focussed on content creation for Steemit, I understand that curation is also essential – for both the success of Steemit and for one's personal success on Steemit.
