Since then, he has worked as a research writer for SellCell, delivering countless articles filled with interesting data from surveys through to statistics. Ste is passionate about writing and loves to delve deep into data to discover nuggets of information that other people might not have noticed. He isn't afraid to opine on various matters, when the need calls for it! When Ste isn't sitting in front of his laptop poring over spreadsheets, you can find him behind his turntables, in front of his PS5, organising charity events for Macmillan Cancer Support, or playing tabletop board games. Outdoors, he is a bit of an amateur mycologist, and loves to go walking in woodlands!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ste-knight-01759a22b\/","https:\/\/twitter.com\/stemachine"],"url":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/author\/ste-knight\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18309"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18309"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18309\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18352,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18309\/revisions\/18352"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sellcell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
