Reblogging (or, in Twitter parlance, retweeting) is the mechanism in blogging which allows users to repost the content of another user's post with an indication that the source is another user.
Steemit recently rolled out a new feature that allows users to share blogs they find with those who follow them. This change implemented entirely outside the blockchain consensus which means that reblogging does not create a new post, it merely shares an existing post with people who follow you.
Benefits of Reblogging
As a curator, you want as many people to see a post after you upvote. When you build a large audience of followers you can earn more curation rewards by reblogging a post after you upvote it. This will dramatically increase the visibility of a post and help content go viral. It is very possible that popular content could end up in almost everyone's feed.
Build more Followers
Those who are unable to write every day can still build a solid set of followers by reblogging quality content you discover while browsing steemit.com. When you finally do decide to write an article it will have an audience ready and waiting to upvote your article.
Be Careful what you Reblog
Abusing the reblog button may cause you to lose followers. Please be considerate of your audience and carefully curate content you believe they want to see. This will be the best way to maximize your own reputation and curation rewards.
Future Changes
We have many plans for enhancing the reblog feature. These enhancements include:
- Renaming to to resteem
- Keeping track of resteem count
- Updating reputation algorithm to factor in followers and resteem rates
- Allowing users to see everyone who resteemed an article.
- Ability to remove a reblog
- Ability to separate your content from "reblogged content"
We have many features in the work. Most of these new features will first appear and be discussed as issues on github. Our team will be creating milestones and tags to organize major features and let people know when they may be brought about.
Enjoy!

I think that the way it cam in wasnt the best possible way...
Not only it absolutly spams the feed, now new users will reblog each other like crazy. Same posts will appear over and over under the feed button. (already ive heard of peopel paying each other to reblog)
It defeats the point of having a feed button at all.... unless it has its own tab!
More so, It might be an idea to make the reblog button count like a "submit story" towards the reblogger, that way it will go wowards the 4 post count per day of the one who reblogs
Edit - an un-blog button is a must too

Use StackEdit.io as your post editor, then when you're happy with it, copy to steemit. StackEdit will keep a local cache of the document (at least in Chrome) you are creating and can save to the cloud if you wish. Even if the computer crashes, as long as you can reaccess in the same browser you will have all of your document there. No need to use Stackit as the editor.

Yeah, I also pre make a lot of them in Word, but I'll get to editing or tweaking or adding something and then accidentally bump the clear button and lose everything, so I was thinking it would be a simple addition to streamline steemit and avoid having to go through extra processes like the one you mentioned. Thank you.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

That's what I try to avoid, if I have something to tweak I do it on StackEdit.io and repaste on stackit, it takes a little discipline but it makes things easier to keep track of, and that way I also have a complete copy of all my posts in case I need to copy or quote things from one post to a new one. I do agree that a confirm for clear would be desirable as well, but in the meantime, no editing in stackit for me.

@dantheman love the fundamental idea and possibilities of growth with reblog.
One suggestion though. Either a separate tab or the ability to filter within my feed. Couple hours into the reblog and my feed is blasted with reblog posts, thus posts from those I follow are way down the scroll.
Again, love the idea as it will introduce me to new contributors and spread the word on authors organically. Just need a way to keep it clean.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

That's not what anybody wants to hear.... We all want to be able to follow as many of those we like and on a weekly basis I'm going through my feed to see if there's anything I don't want to follow. It's because I want to read about different things at different times of the day.
The average user is not using steemit for curating reasons or for profit the average user has multiple interests and we're not thinking about everything we're interested in all at once. So we're not always going to like what's at the top of our feed but might have the head to read it at another time of the day!
For instance I might want to read a fitness blog in the morning to motivate me, a travel blog at lunchtime to chill, a philosophical blog in the evening and perhaps a bedtime story at night!
Even the tags currently don't work in our feed so it's a headache to look for good content without fishing through what's new or what's trending which is only what the whales like not necessarily what I like...

Well, I think over time this might work out. People who are re-posting to much crap will muted or un-followed. But I had already some users who I follow because of their great blog posts, but some of the shared some crap, which run into my feed. I don't want to mute them or un-follow them as i value their normal posts. But I will monitor this, as I think that everybody just clicked some random post to test the function. So I will wait a week to see where this feature brings us.

Without the reblog feature, people we follow do not always post what we want to see. There may be 1 out of 4 posts that I don't like but that doesn't mean I have to unfollow them. I don't share "ALL" the interests of the person I follow and, with the reblog feature, if he/she decides to reblog more of the things I am not interested with, it will surely flood my feed with more "unwanted items". Then, again, that doesn't mean I have to unfollow him/her.
I agree with @scaredycatguide about having a separate tab for the reblogged items.

Good suggestion. Is it safe to mute somebody you're following on a temporary basis? Mute sounds like it may be semi-permanent or even force you to unfollow. On the other hand it might be the filter you're looking for. Haven't tried it myself. Anybody?
Edit: Tested and as expected it unfollows and mutes the person. Thankfully I was able to revisit one of their posts I had commented on and follow/unmute. I'm not sure if going to my comment history was the only way to get them back or not.

Oh and do the reblogged posts get removed from your list after a certain payout? I feel like its a bit unnecessary for them to remain there forever, at least for users who will want to focus on series won't want to re-blog that much because of that.

@dantheman It will be interesting to see how this works out as the idea is great.
I'm wondering if it might be an idea to try to limit re-steeming to be counted as one or your four daily posts?
That will act as a mechanism to prevent people spamming their followers and annoying them.
One could also envision people who aren't interested in making their own posts or writing but are good curators simply using their account solely for re-steeming - a kind of super high quality curation of the very best posts.
I think if done right it could open up a whole new avenue for making money on Steemit. I would certainly be interested in following someone who could pick out 4 super high quality posts per day for me, particularly since it is so easy to miss things.

Reblogging is great. I see a lot of great work on Steemit platform lately but I would like to see stronger movements from the community and developers outside of Steemit to improve adoption.
I've just proposed the crowdfunding for one WooCommerce Payment plugin in a new series of posts on my blog. STEEM Blockchain is perfect for fast confirmation of transactions and I think we should promote more this cool feature of our blockchain to the crypto and non-crypto users! Just think about 10% of WooCommerce shops starting to accept SBD and STEEM! That's over 1,6 million websites promoting our blockchain for free!
@klye tried to make Coinpaymnets.net (very good crypto payment processor) accepting STEEM and SBD. He is now bulding one cli_wallet instruction manual alone to be able to bring STEEM and SBD into merchants stores.
We are young, we have time, but I think STEEM community should focus much more to support such initiatives...

When the wealthy owner of a platform (aka: @dantheman) pays a developer with his OWN money, to program a "sharing" feature that will inevitably drop HIS payout and take away from trending articles that HE could have gained from had he trended them, it gives users like me the DISTINCT impression that the owner is in this for the long haul, that this platform is not just a "churn and burn," and that it was built for sustainability, sociability, and quality.
Hats off @dantheman.
Users are now able to take inventory and help good content trend better than we could before. People like @steve-walschot and @roelandp now have more influence. This is EXACTLY what this platform needs.
Yes, spamming is inevitable. Just as it is with ANY other medium. We can unfollow that user for awhile, and/or we can let them know why. As they see their followers go down, they will catch on. I really think it will even itself out.
Super stoked. (do people still say that?)

I that you said, "Be careful what you reblog", but the reblog button is right under the upvote button, so I accidently reblogged what I intended to upvote on my mobile device.

This is a very innovative idea for Steemit. I can see the positives this new feature will have. Helping things go viral, especially if it's quality content, is one of the main goals of any social media platform, and Steemit is no exception. But it is even better because it helps all of us relate to one another even more instead of making posts and then just sitting and wondering if anyone out there will even be able to see and/or relate to it. In my personal opinion, it's a win on all fronts, for both the poster AND the reader. Awesome work, guys! :D

What about the rewards gain after reblogging the content, do we have a share in it?
Also, is it possible that the reblog will be treated as newly posted article on the side of the reblogger without modifying the original article posted by the original author?

This does cause a fairly big change in marketing strategies... I think it's good in principle though. Makes it more of a social network and less just a Reddit clone with better voting system.

I wonder how this will impact on all of the "hidden gems" people, many of whom are controversial figures for profiting on other peoples content.
Will they continue their methods or adjust to the new paradigm. More importantly, will people still Upvote "hidden gems" style posts, when a "reblog" would have done the same job, with potentially less rewards.
Personally, I'm hoping this new feature sees the demise of "hidden gems" style posts.

smooth-e is being used by a independent curator who asked me for it and appears sincere. Since I wasn't using it at all, I agreed. I don't pay close attention to how they vote other than that they aren't generally voting in an abusive manner (in which case I would revoke permission). One or a small number of votes I disagree with doesn't count as that though.

Actually there is: Visibility. At least that's my rationale for upvoting it. I'm making a calculated guess that it will trend higher-up and before payout it will be whale-downvoted (which has now happened to some degree, pushing it further down).

Platform announcements and team communications should have a special category or a sticky function or something. Should important announcements containing important information that users need to know (not saying whether this is or isn't one) not be seen just because the post didn't happen to get enough upvotes, or because people don't look on the trending/hot/pages?

Here is my advice:
I might follow a bunch of news companies not particular because i like the news but because i want to see what that news Corp is posting .i.e what that corporation thinks about X Y and Z issue.
let me make it even more practical.
You Dan you follow the New York Post because you notice they are posting articles about crypto and even Steem.
But you also notice they exclusively 'Reblog' all of their sports and Kitten news articles and especially the New York Post Celeb news.
So you go to 'New York Post' profile and say 'Thanks for the crypto news' but no thanks to everything else you post from your friends. 'New York Post Sports' 'New York Post Celebs' and you click 'turn off reblogs'
this is called 'turn of re-tweets' in Twitter.
Sure people should be careful what they reblog but in the same sense also it is useful for people to have user control.

heads up you really should have a 'what we've changed' button somewhere at least while in beta that just links to these stories.
Or 'latest updates'
i (and I'm sure many others) hold near zero value in the vote = good content equation.
so i rarely look anywhere other than 'New' and my 'feed' so this stuff is easy to miss.
if there were a dedicated 'official updates' category and i could 'follow' categories and and all those categories (that I followed) appeared in a feed then i'd surely follow that category.
this would be just like being able to 'edit' the new feed and eliminate categories you know...
anyhow....
but none of that exist on Steem presently.
great job with this.
The 'delete' a reblog is good but in some cases 'turn of reblog' is still needed - i'd suggest do both ! - more users ability = great times had in social media land of happy fountain.

"reblog after upvoting.." Brilliant, thanks! I also imagine this feature has the potential to greatly enhance authors' earnings during the 2-30 day payout period, as others "resteem" and article, and their followers (esp NEWEST ones) find interesting articles prganically in the feeds of those they follow. Great work up there guys and gals, thanks!

This is certainly a really cool idea that only needs to be further developed to be excellent! I am guessing most of the dessired improvements have already been mentioned, but definetly a "delete" button for reblogged posts and a "confirm" pop-up once you click the reblog button should be among the priority features.

It does consume network bandwidth on your account which will limit smaller users to some extent. You are also limited by your followers. Also, your feed has a maximum length so if you follow a spammer things will scroll by.

So they are included in your 4 a day... This I think is a good thing.
EDIT:
Hang on a second... Does this mean that for those who don't write any posts (such as most of the whales who will benefit the most from promoting what THEY like) they can reblog as many times as they like since they are not seeking author rewards anyway??
Now I'm not sure I like it at all. People following the whales will pile on in their ignorance and lack of understanding of how the system works...

Why would there be a limit on recommending only to your followers in the community of something you have read and liked !! Its not a vote or curation from your wallet. Its just a heads up read no?? Its totally brilliant and will truly explode the minnow problem of not being seen as the minnows will all reblog their likes and dislikes and they in this domain will find power too as in a way they are the majority the samll acounts at least in theory !! !! its a win win for all the Ocean, Big and small !! the Eureka moment I,d say for Steemit. The effects on bandwidth though is a good point, not sure if this will have adverse repercussions on the server side of things. I guess we will find out !! The rest is tweeking as I see it !!
