Good news - they are working on a change to let you paste images directly into your posts/comments!

There is no guarantee it will get completed and approved, but it is looking like it will :)

There is the SteemPrentice channel in Steemit chat for this.

Nice list. Love all three.
Tim, you might look into why Steemit provides for the ability to hotlink, even when the hosting sites have put in place code to block doing so. Pixabay states clearly that it's not allowed. Many other sites do as well. 

Here's a good example:
http://www.smoothieweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/owl-made-from-fruit-496x479.jpg

Shows up nicely, doesn't it? Right click on it and choose to show it in another tab (or copy the link and open it in another tab). Still looks good, right? Now strip out the `https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/` (leaving `http://www.smoothieweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/owl-made-from-fruit-496x479.jpg`)and you'll see that hotlinking this image is prohibited. I know that folks are encouraged to use hosting services, such as steemimg, but right now Steemit is unknowingly hotlinking illegally.

@barrydutton, like you I am not tech savvy, however I have become extremely interested in how steemit operates in all of its multi-faceted and somewhat complicated glory. @timcliff do you think item #3 would be a way to address the drop in user interaction, or is there some way in which it can be formatted to do so? I've never upvoted a post that I didn't actually open and read, and rarely do I vote and not comment, I think it's extremely important for the content creator to get feedback.  Someone recently suggested placing higher curation rewards on  comments as a potential solution.
Of course you are going to find an easier way to make awesome posts just as I am *finally* figuring out markdown, haha! 
Great job in trying to deal with the NSFW issue. While I have chosen at this point to keep my own blog clean, I enjoy off-color entertainment, and so do many others including many like me who also keep their personal blogs family friendly (merej99 among them ;) I strongly believe in freedom of expression and frown on censorship. I have several novels that contains strong content that I might want to put on here down the line and I'd like to feel comfortable doing so. I would also want to warn people away who might be offended by it without chasing them from my blog completely since I will continue to post plenty of material that is perfectly safe for work. 
And two things that have bothered me from the beginning--the inability to comment on old posts and the utter lack of incentive to vote on them, in fact to vote on anything over 24 hours old unless you are one of the handful of people that constantly trend.
I voted for you just now, I've been meaning to do it as you seem to be one of the most actively involved witnesses in the community and I really appreciate that! If you have any recommendations for other witnesses that I can look into I'd also appreciate it. It's a long list and time can be somewhat limited.

> Curation guilds that allow the delegation of voting power from whales to minnows

I love this idea. As Steemit grows, allocating voting power should be more diverse. Trails are good for curation rewards, but it centralizes VP on a few posts. New users will stop using Steemit if they don't see their efforts are valued here. Blockchain is not a selling point for many.

Hey Trevor I wrote a post about one of the best tools to check your status rating  just a couple days ago + 2 other good tools --- you can go down my blog (yes, I RS a lot of good content from others, I believe in that)   --- or find the one resource directly at Steem.Cool
