Welcome to our Reef
The Reef index and Author Showcase post are intended to highlight creators within the @BuddyUp community. You can see the latest Index post here, the members who are active and have provided us with their short blog descriptions get indexed and at the end of the week we feature the best posts in this The Reef - Showcase
As this is a new feature, we will keep adapting it to find the best fit. Currently, not many of the members are featured in the index post and through that, I have decided to steer clear of the classic curation style. The curation method is not only very difficult to accomplish satisfactorily and can seem distant through the use of passive voice, and because this is for the community to enjoy I will opt for a week in review methodology, allowing for far more content to be displayed with the intent of allowing discovery over limited options which might lead a person to feel that there is a push for insincere voting.
Beginnings can come after an end.
This week has had quite a few beginnings, apart from the obvious "trendy" things everyone always get caught up fawning over as is our simple human behaviour there are exciting things happening on the reef with everyone pushing forward, discovering and creating.
Congratulations!
@Sumatranate
I think that this is the best way a person could start any week in review and hope that he has mastered the ability to sleep standing upright since I can only imagine that to be a useful skill to have. I tried it at work but putting a sock on my ear was going a bit too far. penderis
@Dreemsteem
All Spunkee Monkee images have been created for Spunkee Monkee by the amazing @jimramones! Images are not to be used without permission from Spunkee Monkee.
With the obvious jokes aside I think Dreem is onto something here and bringing a more family orientated focus to the platform is an avenue worth exploring. For those who wish to support the project and provide ideas, you should definitely reach out to @dreemsteem as she can always do with a little when it comes to rewards for the kiddos (choice wording) penderis
@BluefinStudios
An example image for @Bluefinstudios ImageSkills - Motion contest, the image taken by blue himself.
Professional photographers having contests such as Blues ImageSkills contest can greatly increase the level of photography posts overall, you will find that not just anyone with a phone can post random images and expect to win. The added bonus is that and I might be wrong but if you asked @bluefinStudios really nicely he would be more than happy to share some knowledge and that is worth, I would say a few $100 😄 penderis
@Makowrites
Find out more about his project @tagalong below
@Makowrites is not only busy publishing brilliant writing and contests to challenge our mental faculties. He has started a valuable service on Steem that helps to clean up tag usage via @Tagalong. This account has found support from a few witnesses who see the potential in such a service. If you feel you have time or delegations to spare be sure to head over to @Tagalong or get in touch with him as he can do with the added assistance in keeping our mean tags clean. penderis
@Rhethypo
@Anutu
Both On the surface @Anutu and @Rhethypo might seem like opposites the one is a lot more technical and direct the other creative and bubbly, this really depends on whether you are looking at their cover art since the creativity in @Rhethypo's writing is comparable to great art. The thought and technicality backing the designs and layouts that @Anutu brings to his posts is the eye for detail that you require to achieve more than good.
Both are great writers to follow, and you will always find something for your mind and soul. Not to mention @Rhethypo's whimsical meme Friday which is a great example of how to meme with originality. penderis
@YouHaveWings
@JuliaMulcahy
@GregoryPatrick
Whether you are learning something new from the excellent research that @YouHaveWings do or enjoy a bit more of a waffling I stole that word from @JuliaMulcahy then both Wings and Julia have you covered as neither of these traits are unique to the one over the other. Both ladies are far smarter than what I am and you will notice that immediately in their writing, so be sure to give them a visit and learn something new about our world and yourself.
@GregoryPatrick is working hard to provide people with the opportunity to know what is truly happening, the accessibility provided by airing these shows without the fear of censorship means that more people will be able to express their opinions, met with reasoning and critical judgement I can see The Decentralized News and his other shows facilitate debate and understanding over ignorant hate. penderis
The End.
Thank you for reading our showcase and as you can see there is still some work to be done, for one thing, I had a very difficult time deciding on titles. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve our The Reef Showcase please drop by our @BuddyUp server and let @Penderis know.
This is the start of a fresh week and that means the communities will be buzzing, tonight we have our very own @BuddyUp Drop in the Ocean show at 20:00 UTC the topic for the week is Digression, before that in the @SteemitRamble is the Creatives Coffee Hour with your hosts @ShadowsPub and @ArtemisNorth - to be sure check the updated Rambling Radio Schedule here.After Drop in the Ocean you also have a great opportunity to share posts and discover new creators on Monday Madness with @PoeticSnake and @TheBugIq in the Snekky server. For a full list of shows be sure to check out @Pennsif's Steem Radio Schedule as he covers everything. penderis
