Cuando vi la publicación no se que me hizo pensar que esta 10 cosas hablaría de la situación actual del país, que bien me siento que no sea así, si no 10 cosas que probablemente olvidamos de lo grande que puede ser nuestro país. Lo más interesante que me gustaría destacar es que el fenómeno del Catatumbo es el único hecho o evento que puede reparar el hueco que tiene la capa de Ozono, es un trabajo que hice hace ya algunos años lo investigué.

Hola Eduardo un placer saludarte, ¿Sabes? llevo un rato viendo tus publicaciones y al ver esta ultima sobre Venezuela decidí entrar a ver tus contenidos, en este sentido pude notar que eres un usuario que recién inicia, por lo cual y con tu permiso quiero ayudarte en este proceso haciéndote un par de recomendaciones, las cuales te detallo a continuación:

  1. Considerar compartir solo contenido original y de calidad, acciones como plagiar o Copiar y pegar (esto ultimo es, cuando trasladamos el material de otros tal cual lo encontramos y lo publicamos en nuestro blog), no son bien vistas púes se consideran abuso de la plataforma. (En este caso el contenido publicado también fue encontrado en los siguientes links de otro Steemian: 1, 2)
  2. Al usar imágenes de la web o de otros lados a objeto de darle vistosidad a nuestro material, hemos de indicar su fuente, hacerlo es muy sencillo solo deberás usar el siguiente código, arriba o abajo de la imagen utilizada:[Fuente](Aquí colocar el link del sitio de donde tomaste la imagen).
  3. Considerar que aunque no existe un limite máximo de publicaciones diarias permitidas, publicar por publicar, es visto como Spam, para que esto no sea así, nuestro material debe ser (como ya te lo indique), original (nuevo, propio, de autoría) y de calidad (relevante, que implique un aporte a nivel científico, humanístico, entre otros tanto para los usuarios como para la plataforma).
  4. Considerar el adecuado uso de las etiquetas, las cuales aqui en Steemit usamos de la siguiente manera:
    -Tag Spanish: Solo lo usamos cuando hemos escrito total o parcialmente nuestro post en este idioma.
    -Tag steem: Lo usamos cuando nos referimos a nuestras cryptos.
    -Tag Steemit: Lo usamos cuando hablamos de la plataforma como tal, sus avances, adecuaciones entre otros.
    -Tags introduceyourself e introducemyself: Los usamos cuando hacemos nuestra presentación en la red.

Con todo lo anterior y como mi intención como ya te lo indique es apoyarte, ademas de lo señalado, te voy a invitar a visitar los post de @lince donde puedes conseguir toda la información necesaria sobre las adecuadas maneras de postear o si prefieres puedes escribirme que con gusto te contestaré... Saludos y muchos éxitos en este andar... Seguimos en contacto☺
