Always remember to follow the general rules of Hive and that of any community you which to contribute to. Nice meeting you dear.

YES you did it you are a hiver now. So I will leave the brittstarterkit to get tou in your journey here. But first Congrats it’s a great step in the blogging crypto world and blockchain.

There are a few tips needed in the beginning.
Not a must rather an advise to not let the Hive and the new experience be to daunting.

Your passions in real life can be an inspiration for online life and thoughts put into writing and a  brand new hive blog is great and will be rewarded with votes which is fun. Your niche, hobby, views or new ideas are appreciated and will be read. If you have questions let us on hive know. There are many hivers that will help , if you ask your questions in comments or in a discord! 

There is so much so all topics will have a place here. The hivinguniverse is so diverse it’s suitable for all of us. See the list of all communities on hive in your front end drop down menu. ( sound difficult but it’s the row on the left 😉 )  never give any of your passwords and please don’t click on links you get in comments in the beginning that can cause theft. Later in you will know what to click and what not.

There is a Discord called The Terminal for newbies and it has all the answers to your questions,  join in, it’s free. 
I am on Hive everyday ! You can always leave a comment.  And we all have been ther so please don’t be afraid to ask there is so much that the beginning can be daunting and scary.
But we are nice, complicated but nice.

###### Support the HiveBuzz project. [Vote](https://hivesigner.com/sign/update_proposal_votes?proposal_ids=%5B%22199%22%5D&approve=true) for [our proposal](https://peakd.com/me/proposals/199)!

Welcome to the Hive community @fredaig!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:
1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the **posting key**,
2. Use your **active key** only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
3. The ***master password*** and the ***owner*** key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. ***DO NOT*** lose your passwords; **copy and store offline,**
5. ***Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own***.
6. ***An introduceyourself tag is used only once*** , and
7. ***DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to.*** If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hiveans available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

I had to send this here for privacy sake.
Do you mind if we talk on whatsapp? 

Hey @fredaig! This is @indayclara from the @ocd team. **Congratulations and welcome to Hive**!

*Can you share to us how you got to know about Hive or who introduced you here?*

We love to read more of your stories so make sure to share them in our amazing [Communities](https://peakd.com/communities)! You can also check out the [Communities Incubation Program](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@ocdb/ocd-communities-incubation-program-update-82). If you are looking for tips and information as a Hive newbie, click [here](https://peakd.com/@newbies-guide). This will also help you with your start here: [How To Get A Great Start on the Hive Blockchain](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@castleberry/how-to-get-a-great-start-on-the-hive-blockchain)

By the way, since content on the Hive platform is monetized, using other people’s ideas or images could be considered as an offense and which is also viewed in a serious light on the blockchain.  Here is a [useful collection of resources]( https://peakd.com/ccc/newbies-guide/abuse-and-plagiarism) about how plagiarism and abuse is viewed and handled on Hive.

If you have questions, you can hop into [Discord](https://discordapp.com/invite/YGVAvvm) server and we'll gladly answer your questions.

Good girl oo!!
