The importance of resteeming quality posts. How to resteem post longer than 7 days.

Isn't it ironic? The same resteem feature available to all of us is what we pay bots for. I have come across posts that otherwise wouldn't have if not for other steemians resteeming it.

The resteem feature helps give visibility to quality posts. I said quality because that is what should be the norm. You should only resteem good contents.

While searching for good posts to read, I came across posts as late as 2016. And I noticed they don't have that resteem button.

I was made to understand posts over 7 days don't carry that feature anymore and I thought what of people that are yet to even join steemit. Have they already miss out on reading good contents.

My search for answers led me to steemconnect.com/sign. A site with such amazing features that make your life on steemit seamlessly easy.

For the above examples @heiditravels is it. The post is about how to make quality posts for steemit. The permalink is the link to the specific post which is almost the post title. For that we go to the address bar as below.

The permalink as above starts right after the steemit username at the address bar. Copy and paste it to the space provided for permalink.

Next click on 'Generate link' after that is the button 'try link' as below
