Finding The Right People To Follow

It's so important to follow the right people. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, you will find it simpler to comment on their posts and secondly, they will eventually notice that your posts are worth upvoting. If their Steem Power is high, then that's money in your pocket.

If they resteem your post, it will also appear in their feed to be viewed by all of their followers.

I suggest that you only follow about 15 people. Search for people who have a relatively high reputation, writing about subjects you are interested in and who are active every day.

A useful bot which tells you who is active and much more is called GINAbot. Here is a tutorial on installing and using GINAbot. More on GINAbot on the next leg of our journey.

This community in  Aragua State, Venezuela,   is unfortunately in a situation of poverty where 60% of children do not attend classes due to lack of school supplies, shoes or not eating. Since their parents do not have the necessary resources to cover these expenses.  At this moment 25% of the children of this community already have a pair of new shoes which gives them the opportunity to attend classes, all thanks to the support of Steemit. This project was carried out with the assistance of @youarehope You can view more information about the project to buy shoes for the underprivileged here.

    

Bristol, which stands at the mouth of the River Avon, has been a major port for hundreds of years. Prior to the 19th Century the huge tidal range meant that ships rested on the river bed when the tide went out.

 Isambard Kingdom Brunel was one of Bristol's most famous sons, and his feats of engineering soon stretched to the city's waterways. It was Brunel who played a major role in the cutting-edge design and construction of the floating harbour, which is still in use today. This new lock system trapped water in the city's central harbour and allowed ships and boats to stay afloat without being affected by the changing tides.

The SS Great Britain, the first iron-hulled, propeller-driven ship to cross the Atlantic, was designed by Brunel. Built in Bristol and launched in 1843, this magnificent ship made voyages to New York and Australia and was used as a freight and cargo ship during the Crimean war.
