Steemit



I am very busy with curating my Steemit account.  I post there a few times each day.  Out of all my techno gigs, it has suited me better than any other.  I'm trying to cross-advertise all of my posts, and Steemit is the first site where I have more money to gain--and this time, money is what I am after.  

I have been creating online content since 1997, but I have not seen much action on the rewards side.  As I look back, I have contributed so much, expected so little.  Now that Sir is turning 13 next month, I am able to dedicate more time to a new online venture, with Steemit being chosen one.

I'll be mapping out a plan today, and am trying to pull this blog (the one you're reading now) into the scheme.  We'll see what happens.

And for those visiting this blog from out the USA:  "Welcome to my house."

Most of you non-USA viewers come to my page by way of researching a topic that I've covered; which means that my research has been of some benefit to another; which is what matters most to me; which is probably the reason why I have not gained that much financially--doing a lot of work researching and not charging anyone for my efforts.  

I'm a researcher from way back.  Most of my research came by going to the library, using the card catalog, and checking-out books with my library card.  I have an English degree and spent my college and masters' studies in libraries, devouring books.  And it's only because of my health that Sir and I no longer go to the library every week.  Physical libraries have books that you can't find online, there are far better gems at your neighborhood library.

That's it for now.

The Lay of the Land



So I've been here.

Here being on the internet.

I do what I do everyday: research, write, and create content.

My last post on this blog was February 2016.

I guarantee that I've been viewing this blog regularly.

I haven't posted because I wanted go without a new post until one year post-Clinton's defeat.

I felt that the Presidential run would speak for me.

That posting anything too soon would mean just regurgitating the bullshit that was going on.

In the end, this approach worked in my favor, and I found myself venturing into other internet novelties.

And these novelties come and go quickly.

This one site that I loved, was gone within a year.

Personally, I think it was my best work to date (I gave lectures via vlogging).

But novelties go, and I'm left without a single copy of that work.

I'm not into backing-up the work I give to the internet.

I let it be.

 Like this blog...

No back-up.

No plan B.

Anything less would leave me in ongoing anxiety over wondering if I'll lose all my hard work...WITHOUT A BACK-UP!

No.

And here I am.

It also appears that I am not on this blog alone, people keep coming to the information I planted here in 2005 (I think that was the beginning of this blog; if I am wrong, I'm not off by much).

My latest site is: https://steemit.com/@missnikkiann.

So let's keep at it.
