NEW FROM LAST WEEK: In case you didn't spot it, the challenge will now end Friday morning and the winners presented Friday evening, based on UTC Time.
The partnership with @davemccoy & @mudcat36 from the #newbieresteemday initiative will continue. I'm truly impressed by what they have accomplished and it is a great pleasure to work with them. The Newbieresteemday initiative is an excellent community for new Steemians. This challenge is meant to strengthen interaction skills, to support and motivate better participation, and what better way to interact with others than through excellent comments.
Get ready to deliver some magnificent comments! Polish your keyboard and sharpen your mind, I wanna see those comments rolling in. Please show me what you have got!
It is important to get followers, but you also want the correct type of followers. Followers that are truly interested in your blog and what you write, and not the “I-follow-you-if-you-follow-me” kind of type. And to attract the right type of followers, you need to write godlike comments.
This challenge is all about writing godlike comments.
- In each challenge a post from a fellow minnow will be featured.
- The challenge is to write an amazing comment related to that post.
- I will resteem the post.
- I will give it a 100% upvote.
This will be part of my campaign to help other Minnows. The #minnowsupportproject helped me and I want to help others.
Join the challenge and practice your skills.
Please join the fun! 💓 💓

Post To Review
Here follows the post for you to review:
Challenge #22 Post - "Shout Out Saturdays", by @crazybgadventure.
@crazybgadventure has recently started a new initiative, Shout Out Saturday, which is meant to promote great authors on this platform. The idea is to write a post with a short review of 6 people who you interacted with in the past week. @crazybgadventure describes this as a way to take the focus away from the trending pages, a way to build an alternative space, a dedicated hashtag focused on manually curated people. Simply, a hashtag with awesome people writing awesome content.
I love this initiative as it fits perfectly with this comment challenge, and I'm sure the cool people over at #newbieresteemday will be hooked as well. Please check out the post and let us know what you think. If you like the idea, do you think you will start your own "Shout Out Saturday"?
Remember that a valid entry is a comment written below, but please feel free to add the same comment to @crazybgadventure's post.

No problem at all. That is great news that will help fuel this rocket. I upvote this for more visibility.
To show my support, I will also add 100 SP to be delegated for one week. So please go ahead and select two winners and I will delegate 100 SP to one of them.
You get the first one with the new logo! How does it look ;)

In the rush when I published the post I forgot to include the banner. Will add it now.

Great I love it.
Here is a link to the competition for those doing posts on saturday for the intiative.
https://steemit.com/shoutoutsaturdays/@crazybgadventure/the-purpose-of-the-shoutoutsaturday-tag-2x100-sp-delegation-up-for-grabs
I just commented on your post and will be resteeming to get you more coverage! This is an awesome idea and I hope we grow it so that more people learn how to reach out and get out of their silos! @danielsaori is a great one to partner with, he has helped us tremendously!
@danielsaori its amazing to see how you supported and upvoted @crazybgadventure regardless of him hijacking your comment... this would teach newbies like us on steemit to support others as no one is an island of knowledge... Good work to you both.
The post was about him anyway, and it was for a good cause. :)
Great I will put up an additional post tomorrow and tag all the info in thanks @danielsaori.
Wow....
Really fantastic idea...
No doubt, there are lots of Steemians out there who are putting in a lot of work, putting others first like you said about @ancapbarbie.
I know a lot of Steemians also who take no credit for the good being done by them and I almost can't wait to put in my entry for next Saturday.
I love it already.
And about the VOTU community on discord, is it possible I'm added?
I love that you said there are daily discussions and even podcast series which are not limited to Steemit.
That will be a great opportunity to learn a whole lot and I'll be glad if I'm granted the opportunity by you to learn at other's feet.
Thanks and Congrats on your new show...shout out Saturday

To the best of my knowledge, the idea for #shoutoutsaturdays was first mentioned in a private chat between @crazybgadventure and @enchantedspirit. He felt it would be like twitter's shoutoutfriday. Ms Spirit thought it was a wonderful idea, and encouraged Mr Adventure to give it his all. He did.
Somebody, I think it was @shadowspub, described this initiative as curating people rather than posts. Come Saturday, St Patrick's Day, we curated our hearts out.
@crazybgadventure led off with https://steemit.com/shoutoutsaturdays/@crazybgadventure/shout-out-saturdays - only fitting since it was his idea, plus his Saturday started way earlier than the other contributors.
@catweasel - I think that may be me - followed with a very different approach, https://steemit.com/shoutoutsaturdays/@catweasel/shout-out-saturdays-catweasel-style-17-03-2018 - next week I may do something different again - or not - but I'll do something.
@enchantedspirit - I have no idea where she found the time - produced https://steemit.com/shoutoutsaturdays/@enchantedspirit/shout-out-saturdays-issue-1-from-enchanted-spirit - with the same flair she applies to all her work.
@shadowspub took time out from searching for me to administer an admittedly well deserved virtual beating to write https://steemit.com/shoutoutsaturdays/@shadowspub/shoutout-saturdays-1-march-17th - I'm still hoping she'll lose interest in me.
@apanamamama came out with https://steemit.com/steemit/@apanamamama/shout-out-saturdays-positive-steemit-members - the title nails it.
@enginewitty brought up the rear with https://steemit.com/shoutoutsaturdays/@enginewitty/st-patty-s-saturday-shoutouts - with a veritable laundry list of wonderful people from his week.
But wait, there's more. On Sunday, but using the proper tag so it counts, @tfame3865 posted https://steemit.com/shoutoutsaturdays/@tfame3865/shout-out-sunday-jodipamungkas-made-the-headline - thus proving that "It's not over 'til it's over."
Interesting fact: all the contributors to the #shoutoutsaturdays project are passengers on The STEEM Engine discord server. Granted, some of us have other affiliations as well, but just sayin'.
Okay, we got the ball rolling, let's see where it goes next Saturday, March 24th when everyone posts to #shoutoutsaturdays.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
Amazing well done...lastly I just need to add for all who want to jump on board you stand a chance to win 100 sP for a week. All you got to do is find three new people to engage with and shout about them from the rooftops on saturday..... its all here.https://steemit.com/shoutoutsaturdays/@crazybgadventure/the-purpose-of-the-shoutoutsaturday-tag-2x100-sp-delegation-up-for-grabs
Confirmed!
Wow, that's an amazing summary of events linked to the creation of shoutout saturday. :)
Now really @catweasel .... how could @shadowspub ever lose interest in you? errr your punishment
This is an amazing comment. Especially amazing coming from someone who types with one finger. (Not even two fingers. ONE finger.) Who are you? What are you doing impersonating the real @catweasel? I smell a rat somewhere.
(Thinking maybe @shadowspub caught up with you, beat the crap out of you -- yea!! @shadowspub -- that's a lot of crap ... and is now writing your comments to throw off suspicion ... so you can recover ... so she can do it again. You go, girl!!! )
voted
lol, @catweasel and all you guys should also be writing for @comedyopenmic I pity @shadowspub, she is being mentioned and portrayed as being pissed off to the point of beating the doc and team
LMAO it's okay @sayee ... everyone is friends and it is all in fun ... mostly :)
Congratulation Doctor. :)
You won the 2nd prize this week. 200 SP for one week.

Well, it's really a great initiative for minnows.
Working on a specific tag will allow us to get noticed faster.
And the word you choose #shoutoutsaturdays is going to help minnows to shout out for their existence on this platform.
I'm with you on this great initiative and hopefully, we'll see this tag on the trending page soon.
Good luck sir!

Your welcome brother
@Dorabot
Am amazed with what am seeing here. This probably will be my first contest
I must applaud you for this great contest. One thing I've observed over the few days I've stayed on steemit is the influx and attention on trending posts and pages. This shout out Saturday is so unique. This is will give good exposure to wonderful steemians who impact weekly in people's life. Impact is a way of creating value, appreciation is a way of sustaining that value.
So when you appreciate people, you build a community where you can expose them to either impact more on other people or gain being impacted on.
I was opportuned to be in a steem meet up last weekend in Nigeria. As a newbie, I got lots of encouragement from steemians. I was told how the system helps and develops people. So this post and @crazybgadventure has motivated me to appreciate and send a shout out to some of these people that I interacted and connected with. Am happy I came across this.
I also learnt over time that value is seen in how much you're willing to give in a exchange of something. So, that you're willing to give your hard earned resources to the success of others shows how much value you place on them and probably their development. I must say am inspired Sir
So I'm planning on joining the shout out Saturday sometime in the future. Let me find my ways around here first. God bless you guys for the good job.
Confirmed!
Awesome comment and a very warm welcome to Steemit. I'm happy you find our contest.
Wish you the best of luck!

Big congratulations!!!
1st prize is yours. Enjoy the weekend and see you around.
The importance of a meaningful comment should never be underestimated. I am glad to see the contest made exclusively for this. It also gives me the inspiration to reward anyone who leaves a meaningful comment, each week, although the price won't be high. It will still be an incentive to motivate people to actually read the post before commenting short phrases or spam lines.
Indeed, comments are very important. It is absolutely the best way for promotion on this platform. And for newbies, it is a must. Most of the time should be spent commenting, and of course, making quality comments. :)
Vote or voted! Am I going to be critical or protagonist, though I think freedom of speech is valid here too. #shoutoutsaturday is a good concept, to highlight a minnow and create against the traditional steem working with an altsteem platform to highlight some minnows.
Who gets the vote or voted subcomment, you know that, not a minnow. He may get but not that much a known or the one with multi account fish. I think all the comments should have been equated equally and prized. This can not be possible for a judge because of work load.
I will try to shout out this Saturday and hope your great work continues too. Though you people are good job but at least vote 0.5% of your vote value against each good comment. I feel ashamed when I see a comment with a single F... word had 10 upvotes and a minnow with 100 good posts gets not a single upvote. My comment is not against your post because you seem to be the only among some others who do it without any witness appeal.
Hope understand my point and will not burn my comment.
Love your way to support minnows.
Regads
Confirmed!
Thank you for your comment Muzaffar.
One way I try to award people commenting on my blog is by upvoting their comments. I don't upvote with a big %, but at least I do it to show my support. I also don't upvote comments which I clearly feel doesn't bring any value.
Thanks for your gasture, many times people negate the critical response. Humbled with your support to minnows.
Regards.
