Ah the change I have been curious about all week is here! Sounds like a good idea, I think it will force people to put in some more work and be genuinely active and interactive!
I will for sure participate!
Hope to see many wonderful posts this weekend and talk to lots of you!
Exactly. In the 73 weeks prior to now I've transferred some 4,800 hive to people commenting on the #weekend-engagement and now I want to promote some posting a little more. Hopefully people jump on board but if not then it's only them they're limiting I guess.
Thanks so much for getting involved, it's greatly appreciated.
Have a great weekend.
Wow! that's almost a Dolphin you have given away @galenkp
Hey😄
My country needs to improve in a lot of areas but I'd go for the first option because I have been getting these vacation vibes lately.
The country I'd love to live in for a weekend is Italy. The answer to why is obvious😄 I've been obsessed with this country for a long time. It's rich with art and history, the architecture is mesmerizing. I have watched many documentaries and movies featuring in Italy. This country has a lot to offer to the people with wanderlust. I am planning to go there in next year or maybe in 2023 but I am excited already. I could get a glimpse of ancient Rome there and what not?! This country has given so many things to the world throughout the history. The rock drawings in Valcamonica are as old as 8,000 BC.

You should read this post properly
I know that, I'll post an entire blog in the community. Was just trying to engage in this post. Can't do that?
I see. Yes, of course you can engage in the post, that's a given. I was simply letting you know as your answer seemed quite extensive for a simple comment on the topic announcement post. I wanted to ensure you were understanding of the changes otherwise you may miss out on some potential rewards and that would be a shame.
Nope! Its just my obsession that I could not stop writing about Italy and I am looking forward to engaging in the topic according to the rules but missing out on something, how would that be a shame?!
I've been to Italy several times so I understand.
I can't wait to read your article in the #weekend-engagement community. Send me a shout out when it is finished^^
Thanks mate, I am on it 😁
WoooooHooooo I think this is going to be some kind of fun. I'm just almost on my way to see what countries and ideas are represented in the Weekend.
Nice change, man!
Thanks mate, I thought a little focus on posts for a while would be good. Let's see how many get involved each week. Your ongoing support is very appreciated Tom..
Change is the only contant thing in life, and this one is really great and interesting from you.
Let me start digging and see what i come up with.
Great, thanks for supporting the community.
You are living the ideal life Galenkp,
I think this curation effort is the next step to weekend engagement. The problem is no matter how many great things I say about my country you can just show one picture of Australia that will blow me away.
The only thing that is not completely clear is "Post directly into the community". This means that we can use any front end we like as long as the community chosen and first tag is #weekend-engagement. Sounds fair since this is a weekend engagement initiative.
One of the hazards of living in Australia is awesomeness. OK, so not really a hazard because awesomeness is awesome. 😂
The post must be inside
Have a great weekend. My post should be up in an hour if all goes right !PIZZA
I'll certainly look to having a great weekend, the last before I start work again. 😭
I hope you have a good one also. 😀
I found the weekend community^^
Yay!
Thank you for hosting this initiative and come to Korea when you have time. If I missed something and my post is disqualified please inform me. I think I got everything !LUV
<><
@galenkp, you've been given LUV from @mineopoly.
Check the LUV in your H-E wallet. (1/5)
It all looks good mate, thank you for entering...And the invite to Korea. I've heard Seoul, and South Korea in general, is pretty legit and it's on my list for sure.
It's all conected so if you plan a trip you don't even have to rent a car. I will give you a tour of Kyungbookgung palace any afternoon around this time.
I’m in for this. Thanks for this opportunity to grow hive accounts for active Hivers. However, looks like I’m missing something. How long would this opportunity last?
Great, that's for taking a look. 😀
@galenkp are we to choose any option or we add the four in our post
Yes, they are options which means you can select the option you wish to post about.
Thanks am in, I really appreciate this
I'm looking forward to it...And great profile picture by the way. One of the best I've seen.
Thanks
Wow! This is a good one @galenkp changes is inevitable, looking forward to read others peoples entries and mine as well is coming right away.
Happy weekend everyone 🤸
Thanks for supporting the community and actively working towards building your own account.
It is a pleasure
Thanks for the great opportunity, I'm in for this. @galenkp are we allowed to use pictures of country you wish to visit eventhough you've not been there?. I think this might go against the rules but no how you're going to post without using pictures that doesn't belong to you, since it still in future and you've not been there.
You can use any images you like as long as your credit the source- If you don't have images use stock ones from sites like pixabay, but link to the image and credit the photographer.
Thank you

@galenkp this topics are all interesting to write about. 🙂 can’t wait to start reading posts from my follow hivers.
Thank you and I'm glad you're going to read a few posts - I hope you engage with the authors also - A great way to gain attention for yourself. :)
Interesting new format. I look forward to reading some posts!
Cool.
Oh what a nice idea making a posting Engagement out of it. Altough the comment section has always been something very special, but I really like the new format.
Did you think about rewarding some ecency points also? Dont know if you use / like ecency but maybe something to think about and ask @melinda010100 what they say to this idea.
So 🤔🤔🤔 let's see wich inspiration to your engage questions will come to my mind 🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for your comment (and entry). I really enjoyed the #weekend-engagement comment section however wanted to focus on increasing posting a little. In the 73 weeks leading up to week 74 I have handed out about 5,000 hive to comments on the #weekend-engagement and enjoyed it however wanted to change it up and see if I can get some accounts built up through those accounts making an effort to post well, as you have done (and always do)
I don't use ecency to be honest so know nothing about their points system. I'm also not one to ask people for support either; if it comes great, if not then all good also.
You know ;-) I am the contests Queen ;-) Another contest has been on my to post list for this weekend and it was about my favorite feature of ecency, wich for sure is the point system. I wrote the main things about, maybe youre interested reading it.
And I do not write this here for an upvote :-) hope you know me that well meanwhile that this is not the reason writing this :-)
I'll take a look and probably learn something too. 😉
Wow can't wait to write about my country... @galenkp thanks 👍
No worries.
Hi, I like the changes, there are more opportunities to see and find fun and different things.
Can I answer all the questions? in one post?
Should I leave the link to the post here?
I like to talk about my Venezuela.... Although now I would like to be in Europe.✈️🚀🛩️🚁🚆🚖🛳️🛥️
You can choose all four if you like, but that might make for a long post. Also, there is no need to post the link here. I curate in THE WEEKEND all the time.
👍😘
I like it! You might have to do a lot of reading on your hand in the near future though.
This weekend I'll make a BIG effort to put a post maybe two together.
I hope you are well. Still living the life 'choosing the right job - if any? I need to catch up on your posts...
Yeah, I read a lot anyway. I was keen to try and inspire people to do some posts rather than drop a comment. I enjoyed the comment-feed on the W-E but this way people get to showcase their posts and gain some additional exposure. Time will reveal if people want to take the time and make the effort. I'll look out for yours, you always post well.
In respect of the job:
Gotcha @galenkp
👍🏼
Cool theme, let me see if I can come up with a contribution too...
@tipu curate
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 46/86) Liquid rewards.
Great, to have you along, I'll look out for it.
I am preparing to join this soon
Cool.
The layout of these posts keeps getting better and better.
I think I'll have a go at the place to spend the weekend. Hmmm... Anything with green and low people count. Iceland would make a nice weekend destination to disconnect from this mess of country. There's also some ice around and that's something we don't see that often around here. Not even in our Andes.

I'm looking forward to seeing your post.
Hello friends, here is my entry.
https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@isabelpena/topic-74-the-weekend-what-country
So let me get this straight..?
I carry my Goofy Ass over to The Weekend Community. Serve up some Hotdogs and Beers...
Post a little some, some. And comment a little some, some... Tag it #weekend-engagement and we are all good?
And options... I got options. Love me some options.
Pretty much. Select from the options in this post and off you go. Be as creative as you wish.
Done and done, some some...
Let me know if all good? Cuz if it fits it sits...
👍
Quick question.
Photo has a signature/source included in photo. Should it still be sourced?
i.e. (above cab of truck)
I'd source it still, just in case.
Interesting idea for this week's engagement. Can we go with more than one option?
If you like although that might make for a big post. Your choice though, one or more of the options is fine.
Sorry for the mistake @galenkp .I had not read correctly. I will make my post by the weekend 🤗
Ah ok, well take a read of this post and you'll see that it requires a post written by you to be placed in THE WEEKEND community.
Thanks for reblogging too.
Excellent, the changes are useful and help growth. I will work on my post tomorrow. It will be a pleasure to participate from the community.🤗
Great, I'll look out for it.
Here is my entry https://peakd.com/hive-168869/@ebingo/have-you-seen-fiji-dont-kid-yourself
Worth writing a post, I will post one and show you what's my most favorite place where I would like to live for rest of my life.
Take a read of the guidelines so you tag it right. 😉
I will, thanks!
Change, the bane of the vanilla people. Great switch up man! I think it’s good to get others to post and try to garner some attention. Let’s see what folks can come up with! The topics are pretty broad so I know there will be a wide array of things people come up with.
Thanks mate,and yeah the topics are purposely broad and yet I reckon someone will come up with,this topic is hard...That old chestnut. Oh well, it's on them huh? They post or they do not.
So it has changed... ok
I popped in to try and be engagy with the crazy engagements that happen on your weekend posts... but yes, got it - still be engagy ;D
Hmmmmm, your questions have made me think... do I play it safe and go with 1 or 4
Or do I tackle "sensitive" with 2/3?
Thinking thinking :D
Oh, girl!! You know you want to tackle! I see you with your football helmet one!
Hike! Hike!
This is me being engagey, even though I have a boatload of Market Friday posts to do... (awww heck, I couldn't figure out which looked better, engagy or engagey, so I went with the one that wasn't used) :P
Hello @kaerpediem
LOL
I just saw this and I did tackle it <33
Haha! 😁
I thought a change towaeds promoting some posts would be good; time will tell how it goes. I wanted to offer a few different topics that would give people a chance to keep it light or to delve into things more deeply. There's been some good posts.
Some time to reflect
Interesting and amazing how you come up with new ideas, Thank you for being such an active thinker, now even giving out topics on what to write about, awesome idea!
Now that I can't reallya travel much, I started using holidays.. when i get them, for exploring our little sLOVEnia and finding places, caves, mountains, lakes and rives... that I didn't know existed.
Changes are good, makes us better, wiser and healthier.
Stay awesome.. happy, strong & healthy friends!
Thanks for your support. I wanted to get some posting happening and give people something interesting to write about over the weekend. I think the topics this weekend leave enough scope for people to be very creative and there's been some good entries so far. I hope to deliver such topics each week.
You motivate everyone, whole community to make more, read more, write more, explore more and do more than expected, Thank you dude!
I try to inspire people to find their best, or at least better than they were...That's how we grow.
Oh and it shows and makes the world a lot better place :)
😊
OK - I'm LOVING the new concept-process and congratulate you on putting SO MUCH WORK into this idea-community. I was just umming and aaahhing about today's post and now you've sorted that for me! LOL.
And the two I was tossing up I can draft this evening and queue for Monday and Tuesday.
One bird - several stones. Best way to roll.
Weekend hugs and much gratitude to you, @galenkp x
This is exactly why I did four options...Gives people some flexibility. I'm glad that you like the revised concept that focuses more on posting.
Hi @galenkp thank you for the opportunity to take part in the weekend-engagement, this is my entry.

I have always been in love with Italy for its mesmerizing architectural view and the creativity of art in that land. It is such a dazzling beautiful place to visit and reside in. At least coming from a person living quite too far from it.
It's an amazing place. I've been a few times and would go back again.
Interesting questions 😃 I wish I can answer them all 😁 but let me just choose the most important one.
Nigeria is my country and I love her irrespective of the leaders she has😰. See frankly If I was giving a whole day I can just go on and on talking about my country but I won't say much just a little.
I love the drama going on in my country 😃😃 being in Nigeria will just make you laugh every day. I love the country because citizens of nigeria are all funny people even when the nation is going through huge economic recession they is always something to laugh about.
For the challenges. Seeing the way the EFCC go after young boys that they see doing well I mean living a good and comfortable life, it just makes me feel bad and depressed that I sometimes fear to make money they are just watching you the moment you start wearing good clothes and fine perfumes you are their next target.
They make so many young people wanting to live the country 😰 another challenge I have is the rate at which people get kidnapped. Most especially during the end of the year like this from October-december and ones you are kidnapped they demand huge sum of money.
My first entry here friends:

And enjoying your Weekend Hivers
Phew - I almost didn't make it (in 10 hours I'll be fast asleep :)) but I did. As usual, the post took me way too long. You know why? Because it was such fun to revisit my favorite island in the sun and reminisce those good times...
Hope your first day is going well!
Glad you had fun. I'll take a look. 😉
Greetings .. here's my entry
WELCOME TO NIGERIA
Haha so I've been afk for a few weeks and I come back to a new challenge?? Bring it on 😎😀!
A change is like a holiday they say. I reckon change is nothing like a holiday though 😀.
Hahaha where do you even get these quotes? Who says this!?! 😂
