"bullsh*t baffles bulletin board brain"? 🤪
Adding links into that left-hand section from a coding point of view should be easy. The Steemit developers will be able to update it very easily (as they have done with the "Steemit Engagement Challenge - Season 1 - Week 4" update).
The difficulty is deciding what's "important". And how long it's important for. I don't know if it's just me - the "Newcomers Guide" must have so many comments now that the page crashes my browser so never loads.
I've thought for a little while that a consolidated list of links ranging from how to sign up, how to invest, etc. is essential if we want to onboard new users and grow the platform. All I can think of are difficulties - different exchanges in different countries, etc. and languages... all possible to overcome but a huge effort and a lot of dedication will be required to achieve it. In my research some time ago, I found a Chinese user who'd written a huge database of guides for Steemit (in Chinese)... it took some time for me to find the link but here it is - https://bookdown.org/baydap/steemh/aacontributors.html
Something like this is probably required 🙂
To start, you put a smile on my face. I don’t think we will, for years to come, forget the bullsh*t thing 😊
In answer to your reply. I’m so glad that you had to search for the Chinese post as that is exactly my point, posts gets lost.
Secondly should it be able to do getting something goiing would it not be possible to blog users to reply on these posts? Afterall they are informative posts. That will stop the problem of too many replies.
Lastly, the biggest problem problem I can see is the selection. Would it not be able to write a crawler to preselect posts? From there it can go over to a curation team.
Sorry for all the questions. I must be female after all 😊

We'll always have Bullsh*t Baffles Brain. The 3 B's. Which perhaps amusingly, was the name of the first pub that I regularly drank in 🙂
I must also have not thought that it was important enough to bookmark 😉
I have seen something in the API which suggests that you can turn off comments to your post so that people can't reply. I've never seen it in action to know whether it's possible or not though.
One thing that's just dawned on me in thinking about this is why there isn't more "brochureware". There's an FAQs page hidden away in the top right... oh... and a "Welcome" page. I've never noticed that before.
Perhaps this should be the next big contest. Create an index of what would be useful, and get the community to write it so that it's then copied into a load of brochureware to create the 5 B's.

This can work! I'm sure there are some hidden talents on Steemit who does this kind of thing on a daily basis.
As for myself, I will pass on it.
Luckily my name starts with a "P" and not "B". (•ิ‿•ิ)
Have a great evening!

Me too 🙂 It took me absolutely ages to review all of the entries to that "steemit reviews" contest!

Haha! It was my exact words to my husband! I told him that I am so glad that I don't have to review all the suggestions and that I feel sorry for you as it looks like you are the one who is the target.
My friend, only 3 more days to go! ☕☕☕

Ha ha - I assume you're referring to the Steemit Engagement Challenge? Fortunately, I have nothing to do with that... It was reviewing this which consumed a ridiculous amount of time. Steemit has nearly 200 reviews now and I had to read, shortlist and choose 3 out of all of them. It took a long time.
Once things end tomorrow, I wonder if we'll see more of this again...
