One of the most daunting activities on Steemit is scrolling endlessly in search of a particular post on The Wall.

Obviously, some will point out that doing a simple google search will provide the desired results with minimum effort.

Except, what if you don't know what your searching for?

You've come across an author that peaks your interest and want to find out if they have more content worth your time, what do you do?

You scroll.

And if the user has been been here for any significant amount of time, you scroll some more...wading through the endless resteems can quickly turn into a time consuming chore often ending in defeat.

This even happens to Steemians hopelessly scrolling through their own material!

What was that title again?

Breathe New Life into Your Steemit Archive!

Right off the top I’d like to thank @rhondak and SFT (Steemhouse Fiction Trail) for providing this much needed resource.

I don’t really get too excited about too many things but I really love this initiative!

I first became aware of the existence of this wonderful service from this post by @aggroed.

Steemshelves.com a Serialized Post Hosting Site for Steemit

This is the first Steemit related service that provides users with the ability to serialize their posts.

Minnow Support Project

Steemshelves has roots in the MSP and the PAL (Peace Abundance and Liberty) on the Discord network spearheaded by the gargantuan efforts of @aggroed and his expanding team of witnesses.

According to the man himself, Steemshelves is a related but separate initiative from members within the community:

What you may not realize is that this project is primarily run by @rhondak. It's an offshoot of the Steemhouse Fiction Trail, which is an independent curation trail within the Minnow Support Community.
-@aggroed

Be sure to visit PAL on Discord and check out the Fiction-Workshop Channel where @rhondak is sure to be found. Supporting, promoting and nurturing a growing community of talented writers.

Serialize Your Posts with Steemshelves

Why should you serialize your posts?

For one, it gives your past work visibility.

I know a lot of Steemians who have done incredible work that has gone relatively unnoticed.

Much of the work was posted before the recent upsurge in users on the platform and, in my opinion, merits some recognition and visibility.

Those who have been on Steemit for longer may notice that much of the research that has been done is often repeated by new users. This situation is no one's fault, of course, as new users have no way of knowing what has or what hasn't been posted previously.

There have been a few attempts to make previous work more accessible, @kasperfred's Steemit Tag Search immediately comes to mind.

Although this is a great service, I feel that pieces selected and compiled by the authors themselves is an improvement in terms giving prominence to bodies of work the authors are most proud of by bringing their best creations to the fore.

Second, it allows you to organize, categorize and catalog your work in a more efficient and eye pleasing manner.

Third, it makes finding selections form an authors previous work quick and relatively effortless.

Simply put, walls are cluttered with resteems and most people don’t have the patience to scroll through someone else’s archives.

Steemshelves allows you to quickly bypass The Wall and get right to the heart of an author’s craft, the articles that they’re most proud of and the work they hope others will enjoy too.

"Powered By Crypto. We Build Worlds." - Steemhouse Publishing

@rhondak was gracious to help me through the process and explain the vision she has for Steemshelves -

All funds go directly to SFT--nobody's hands are in that coffer. EVER. Our curators don't take a cut. We're trying to raise enough capital to pay out at least $50 SBD per curated post, and hopefully more, later.

Originally, Steemshelves was limited to Fiction only but @rhondak has now added a Non-Fiction division. I know there are some authors compiling some fantastic research in many different areas and I encourage you to add your work to Steemshelves.
