Good day🙏,
Welcome to the HIVE blockchain...
This post has been manually curated by @hive-142864 from INCommunity ,I would like to invite you to join your new community called INCommunity and in our Discord Server( https://discord.gg/5VtDMzGw).

Welcome to the Hive community @irene99!
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, and Keychain,
3. The ***owner*** password is 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 ***Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own***.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 Hivians available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:
