This was a hell of summer to me, full of my ongoing health issues, funerals, temporarily blindness, and empty pockets...

However,​ I managed to keep my spirit UP, continued to learn that Javascript and that CSS, I am not a fucking genius yet, but look what have I done with no using any website builder, only the code!

As I already mentioned a month ago, when my troubles just started, I wanted to provide Steem-News readers with the right and useful information at the right time. The thing that inspired me for that was the Byteball situation... The airdrop started more than a month and a half ago and I can still find some Steemit users writing about how they just found that info and acting as they found it first! So first I thought to select the​ posts for Steem-News manually! But my troubles prevented me from​ searching for those relevant posts so I had to learn more of that Javascript and Steem API to fetch the right info. So on http://steem-news.com/ you will always find the five latest posts made by @steemitblog, last 4 posts made by @majes (Steem and SBD market info), the hottest posts from category "airdrops" and I used API from CoinMarcetCal to fetch the upcoming events considering Steemit and Steem blockchain.

I had some​ troubles with the guys from godaddy.com. In the first ​month​ of Steem-News I used their web​ builder and their host, but some error prevented me to have access to my webpage. After a long talk with their support, they apologized​ to me and offered me unlimited hosting storage for the whole year! So now I have so much web space that I don't know what to do with it!

So I canceled the GoDaddy web builder and wrote my own code to build my own website. I must say that it was not easy at all, I suffered a big stiffness​ and headaches every fucking day. Lucky me, I lost my job prior to this, if I kept it, I would be really​ useless.

Enough with drama, let's get back to Steem-News!

First I thought to create something serious.
But then, I couldn't see the way to attract more readers.
So I had to add some things that the news portals​ usually​ have: Weekly Blogging and Crypto Horoscope (by @big.mama), Girl of the week, Guy of the week (this will start when we collect some funds to reward the competitors), and I am thinking about adding some sudoku also to reward the first who solves it.

The page is nothing special​ for now, but when you realize who coded it - it is perfect!

There are many things to fix. For example, I have troubles with fetching nested API results, when I learn that, I will fetch the thumbnail images for each post I paste on my webpage. I also created @steem-news1 Steemit account, its very first content was posted yesterday and earned 0.30$. But I have bigger plans with that account, I am trying to make a commenting/voting bot that will inform each user whose post ended on http://steem-news.com/.

So that's it for now​. If anyone​ wants to check the code, this is the Github repository:

https://github.com/WSSCreativeDepartment/Stem-News

I will work more on it in the next days, there are a few great peoplewhich I have included in this project and we will do our best to ake something good from it!

Thank you!
