I love finding new under-valued Steemians and this contest is a great excuse to find fabulous bloggers whose post aren't getting the attention they deserve. In case you aren't aware, the Pay It Forward Curation Contest is a weekly challenge from @pifc to find bloggers to promote.
Here are this week's selections - reputation 55 or under.
Selection 1 - @dollarsandsense (rep 50)
Tales from an Ambulance: Episode 1 - D.O.A.
I love this post sharing about this guy's experiences as an EMT. He has a real flair for telling the tale in an amusing way, yet not losing the fact that there were tense moments on this particular episode.
@dollarsandsense has an interesting array of articles on his blog and is definitely worth a read and follow!
Selection 2 - @maxijgcomm (rep 46)
MY NEW ARTWORK : PENCIL DRAWING ON PAPER / TITLE - A THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE
I really love this piece of artwork. I love that he shows us a little about his progress and that he uses it as an object lesson in its own right.
This isn't the first piece of his art that I've noticed. It's all very beautiful and really draws from her personal life. I recommend giving this blogger a read and follow.
These are my selections for this week. Please visit them and give them some love - even if you don't have voting power to spare, a kind word can make all the difference!

Thank you so much, @viking-ventures! This really means a lot to me and I’m touched that you took the time to do this for me.
Steemit is such an awesome and exciting place and as the weeks go by I am definitely feeling like I’m settling in for the long haul!
It's great seeing the appreciation that comes back from sincere people when they get featured. Coming back with my personal account to give another upvote. Enjoyed your story too, but love the attitude even more!
Thank you very much! The positivity on here is contagious. I’m usually not a super cheerful guy but you can’t help but be in a good mood when you can create something, share it, and get positive feedback for your work!
What can I say other then after all these weeks you have become a professional. Always know there will be a solid entry from you and the featured bloggers will be interesting. This week is no different. Thank you for once again making an entry!
Thank you. But what's the prize for becoming a professional? Oh dear, sounds like a recruitment phrase! Actually, I have been thinking that I need to start offering some SBI each week... You can DM me if you want to chat about it more. (No matter what, I want to keep being able to participate. It's one of my favorite posts each week!)
I'm sending you a message now @viking-ventures
I specially loved the artist.Excellent choices, @viking-ventures! 😂
Thank you - your choices this week were wonderful as well.
Thank you for the entry @viking-ventures. I love both of these steemians :)
Great job as usual!! Both great posts. I commented and upvoted (I am hoping dustsweeper comes along to make those votes count.) I will get you upvoted once I'm powered back up some.
Thank you for being such a postive influnce in the group and with the features!!
You are one of the brightest lights on Steemit in my opinion. So thankful that I managed to run into here. Thanks so much for your support and participation in the #payitforward contest. We truly appreciate your effort in identifying under-valued authors on the platform. I have visited, commented and upvoted all your featured authors. Wish you all the best.
Will do my round check today and leave my trace first and back for upvotes later..

Thanks a lot!
Oh ma gosh! Am really gateful that my post was features in #pay it forward contest. Actually it my first time of knowing about this contest and I was surprised seeing my post selected as one of them.
Thank you all for the huge support.
You are so welcome! It's a fun contest and one of my favorite posts each week - precisely because it makes people happy and gives them some of the support they deserve!
Absolutely...thanks a bunch.
well done for the effort to look for quality post and author and put forward to this "pay it forward" initiative.
I am sure those recommended are so please to have you around
Cheers
Thanks for stopping by.
Here we go again. I am off to check out your features right now. I am always slow but leaving the tabs up.
Yeah, I do the same - usually have too many tabs open!
Too many tabs open just means we are being highly productive. Or maybe putting procrastination in overdrive. Thanks for the tip on Esteem. I just tried it out today. If I learn to use the schedule feature that may help a lot with the posting. Great tip.
I like your reasoning, lol.
I don't know if they've fixed the scheduler, but the past few updates, it does schedule correctly (or mostly) - but doesn't show it correctly when you go and look back at the schedules. Schedule, but keep an eye on it. ;-)
If you save it as a draft, you can use that as a template for future post.
Yes! I have already made a few templates for future use. I enjoy making graphics in photo shop so it is fun to go ahead and set up for ones I know I will reuse. Also Writing in a safe place so as not to lose a draft has helped me a lot. Makes it easy to have a few things going at once. ... Still not entirely trusting in the saves on the app.
I mostly work off LibreOffice anyway - I don't trust these things to save for me. But, if I can at least get it to save the end material that I put on my posts, it helps a lot - I could close one of my documents, lol (I'm as bad on that as I am with tabs!)
