I’ve only been on Steemit for about 11 months so far, but in that time I’ve noticed several changes that have taken place to the overall platform. Like any social media site the platform continues to grow and evolve and improve upon itself as more and more users join. I’m not exactly sure how these changes get implemented but it does seem like the overall community is considered when decisions are made.
Overall, I really like the look and feel of the platform and there is very little that I would change or do differently. This article offers a minor tweak that I personally would like to see implemented on the platform at some point down the road. I’m sharing the idea in hopes of hearing some of the ideas that others have for changes to the platform just as a bit of a discussion.
Showcasing Posts and Hiding Others

So the overall change that I would personally like to see implemented on the platform is the ability to hide post on one’s personal blog page. I think that we all have posts that we are particularly proud of that we would like to showcase on our main page and that we also have posts that we have written that we don’t particularly care for. The ability to hide or archive posts on our blog, would allow users to showcase the posts that they are particularly proud – the ones that they want other users to see first when they visit our page.
I think it’s safe to assume people who visit our blog, do not go through all of the articles that we have written in the past. Though they may scroll down our page for a bit, it is probably rare for individuals to take an in depth look at everything that we have written. My guess is that it is extremely rare for individuals to work their way back to the beginning of our blog. This is especially true for people who have been on the platform for a long time or for people who post often. As such, a lot of quality posts must get buried in the noise of our everyday writing.

I personally think that the ability to archive our posts would allow users to put their best foot forward and to showcase their best work to others who are visiting their page for the first time. It’s just a thought.
What do you think of this idea? What other ideas would you like to see implemented on the platform?

I'm finishing up a semester in school and have a few major papers to write which are occupying all of my time. I still have some more to do so I wont be getting back to writing for a little while yet. I hope to do so soon though. Until then - take care! :)
