Much appreciated feedback @techslut,
I also feel that previously published content should display an indication of such, and the link added would be a blessing. Good luck on your articles, and I hope that your final publications do well c: I'm currently going through a disenchantment with my understanding that Steemit appreciates fresh content.
The one thing that really made me want to be here, and made me say wow; this place is really special.
There are people making efforts to do just that. I am helping the guys running minnowbooster create a white list of quality authors. This is a start. qurator, curie and other such initiatives help bring attention to original high quality content.
