|Following|

My following received a boost these past 4 weeks going from 911 to 1084 which is an increase of 173 and takes me past the 1000 follower threshold.

|Reputation|

My reputation also received a boost though it is not as recognisable as other things like following but an increase of 0.7 at this stage is quite a lot going from 56.90 to 57.60.

|Posts|

In the last 4 weeks i have authored 25 posts and made 149 comments this is a slight increase in activity and something i will improve on going forward.

|SteemPower|

My SP 4 weeks ago was 368.676 and is now 554.439 though 150 was obtained from Blocktrades meaning i have added 35.763 Steem from authoring posts and curating content which is pretty average.

Steemian of the Month

It is great to see the quality content on the Steem blockchain and the below Steemians deserve recognition for their efforts and are all people i would recommend following.

@negativespace - @negativespace is new to Steem and has been producing good quality content about retro gaming and gaming in general, he is a great example of how to be successful with Steem, check out his recent post titled "Nintendo Games Are Too Easy Now - DLive Case Study Exclusive".

@hodgetwins - There are not many celebrity accounts on the Steem blockchain and perhaps the most consistent one has to be the Hodgetwins, for those that do not know they are a comedy duo who are also twin brothers and have been making Youtube videos for a long time now, they seemed to have recently got in to crypto and do regular videos on the subject, check out their recent post titled EOS Airdrop Warning! You Gonna Lose All Your Airdrops!.

@michaelvenompage - Like the Hodgetwins @michaelvenompage AKA Michael "Venom" Page is quite the celebrity being one of the most talked about athletes in all of MMA he has recently started posting again and announced his second professional boxing bout which will take place on June 15th, check out this post about his last MMA fight which is titled "THE ONE AND ONLY MVP IS BACK!!!!".

A Look Back Down Memory Lane

So as the title suggests a have been using Steem for one year now and in that time i have authored 271 posts and commented 2669 times earning 404.439 Steem which averages out to 33.70325 per month. I am more than happy with this amount though with more effort i could of had 10 x that amount.

Time really does fly, it does not feel like that long ago when i made my first post which i titled "Information Wars on Social Media" there are so many names to mention during my time here on the Steem blockchain that it would need its own post to go through so i will just thank everyone of my followers for making this blockchain the best of them all not just figuratively but literally the best blockchain around.
