Wow - this amazing contest has been going on for 16 weeks now. Following @bengy's example, I have decided to do a post seeing how my featured bloggers have fared.
Here's the first logo to come out from the contest:
Week 1
@neilur (now rep 47) is still blogging.
Colourful Photography: Shells
Aren't they pretty?
She is still blogging frequently with good pictures and write-ups about her daily life. She even participates in various contests, though not this one (yet.)
@changingworld (now rep 52) is still blogging

Photobomb Challenge #31, #02
This blogger is mostly doing photobomb challenges and dlive posts on gaming. I'd love to see more about his life, which might lead to more consistent rewards on Steemit.
@trincowski (now rep 49) is also still blogging
and an active participant (and sponsor!) in this contest.
Here is his Pay-it-Forward entry for this week.
Despite again crossing swords with a particular whale, he has become a steadfast member of the Steemit community and definitely deserves our support.
Active bloggers 3 for 3!
Week 2
@jandroh (now rep 38) is still blogging.
Sunset in Asturias
I'd love to see write-ups accompanying these photos which would allow them to earn consistent rewards. Maybe even joining a Discord group or two for additional support.
@jabre is no longer active, unfortunately.
Beautiful images accompanied by thoughtful write-ups tend to fare well on Steemit.
@potato-potato (now rep 38) is still blogging.
Misty mountains in the Gulf - original watercolour postcards
I love this image, don't you? Again, this is another blogger who would do much better if the gorgeous images were accompanied by a little about the images - maybe a step-by-step or something telling us about what inspired them.
Active bloggers 5 for 6!
Week 3
@gmlgang (now rep 46) is still blogging.
anything you want
Although he still shares some sketching, I'd like to see more write-ups to support his work, I think he'd start getting better and more consistent rewards if he did.
@mikefromtheuk (currently rep 3!) has recently decided to blog again after being ruthlessly attacked by a whale shortly after I featured him. He needs all the support he can get from us! He's come back blogging about his daily life - anything to give us a chance to support his return.
A Walk in the Countryside
Isn't the UK beautiful?!
@efim-off (now rep 47) hasn't blogged in nearly a month. It's a real shame as he was getting consistent rewards. I hope he's okay!
Active bloggers 7 for 9!
Week 4
We had a brand new logo this week!
@steemminder (now rep 51) is still blogging
"Last daylight, France." Atantic coast.
These beautiful images still stun, and earn decent rewards, but would benefit from adding text to the posts.
@liquidpoopcorn is, unfortunately, no longer active.
@tomlabe is also no longer blogging. Shame as his travel posts were excellent! Maybe he's too busy traveling - I'd love to see more work from him.
Active bloggers 8 of 12.
I'm not going to go through all 15 weeks today... I'll revisit another four weeks next week!
Thanks for the awesome idea, @bengy and @thedarkhorse!
