Content Curation World

What are the key steps that a blogger should follow to effectively curate content online?

Silvya Rosenthal Tolisano shares her personal workflow to curate content as a blogger, by highlighting the seven key steps she suggests to go through when preparing content for a blog, 

1. Find & Acquire
2. Select & Filter
3. Group, Organize & Arrange
4. Editorialize, Contextualize & Annotate
5. Create, Present, Transform & Remix
6. Engage & Customize
7. Share 

and by reminding those already doing it

a) not to "copy - paste" entire long passages from articles "as they are", but to rather share short portions to which personal commentary, evaluation or extra value must be added,

b) not to confuse long list of links or resources, for which there is often very little verification and analysis, let alone commentary and added value, with curation.  

The key element of curation is adding value, not collecting large amount of items on a topic. That's what a collector does, not a curator. 

Useful. Informative. Great illustration. 8/10

If you are interested in what could be a good workflow and set of tools to use to curate content on your own WordPress blog, Nathan Weller has a must-read article for you.

In it, he dissects and explains the tools he uses to curate content on WordPress, from how he aggregates and browses RSS feeds, to how he filters, edits and actually curates the content of each post.

Interestingly his focus is on quality, not on having his site populated by lots of "somewhat relevant" content pulled in automatically by one of the many "content marketing"-oriented curation tools available today.

I think you will find several interesting ideas that you may have not considered on how to approach your curation workflow, let alone checking the several insightful comments at the end.
