Happy Friday everyone!

Preface: Welcome to another weekly round-up post from our growing community of bloggers, writers, vloggers, podcasters, and other fellow creatives. To be straight to the point, each and every week we hand-pick five top posts from a pool of the highest voted user-submitted/created posts in the community and include them in this weekly round-up blog post, along with the newsletter for all of our e-mail subscribers. As per our submission rules, posts shared can not be re-posts, or older than 1 month (31 days), meaning that all of the following are fresh and recent! Tune in every week and you will gradually become a better and more insightful creative over time!

Ernie Smith of Vice claims the top spot this week with his throwback piece about the rise, domination, and eventual downfall of Macromedia/Adobe Flash, and its effect on the creativity during that primordial internet era.

Just below is Macy Thornhill who’s guest post on The Creative Penn blog provides us with “6 Ways To Stay Productive In A Creative Slump” as the title establishes.

Next up, and in our final spot on the podium, is Kim Lochery with her extensive look into the art of Pinterest hashtags, and how to use them with maximum efficiency to maximize the chance of getting discovered on that social platform.

Elise Dopson lands in fourth with her analytical look into click-through rates on blog titles, arguably the most important element of any blog post, and shows us over twenty different examples of highly effective titles, along with comments/explanations from the authors of each.

Last but not least, we get to Charles Finch who provides us a unique glimpse into one of his personal tricks on how to write good mystery plots in his insightful and humorous piece for Vulture Magazine.
