Hello KC of moet ik zeggen goedendag?
Welcome to the Hive blockchain and platform, Yes its happening you are a hiver or Bee as we are calling ourselves now. This is the moment to warm welcome you as a new user. And you receive this message because you used the #introduceyourself tag! 

I was welcomed with good advice too when I started so here I am returning the favour. I know that Hive may seem very overwhelming right now but don't worry. After a few blog you will be a great blogger and contributor.
If you have any questions just ask your questions on any of my blog posts and I'll be more than happy to assist you with whatever questions you may have! I may know the answer. If not I will know someone who does. 

Very important I recommend you to never give up any off your passwords they are yours.
To blog i use Peakd, to control your account use Ecency, also an App I use is great, it gives you insight on what is happening in your account. 

Maybe great to join the terminal in Discord and visit @heyhaveyamet to See more newcomers onboard.

Good Luck, Have fun and I wish you loads of success on here! :)

GREETZ from Holland

Welcome to the Hive community @kc20!
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 ***Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own***.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:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

Hello @kc20! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive and introduced yourself to the community - congratulations and welcome! You didn't mention how you happened to find our blockchain home - did an established Hive member tell you about it? If so, you should tag them so they know you're part of the Hive community now!

Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - <a href="https://peakd.com/communities" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Hive Communities</a>. Based on what you wrote, I think you might find these helpful to begin with - 

<a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-182460/about" rel="noopener" target="_blank">France</a>

<a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-156509/created" rel="noopener" target="_blank">OnChainArt</a>

Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched <a href="https://peakd.com/@newbies-guide" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Newbies Guide</a> is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works. 

Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - <a href="https://peakd.com/hivewatchers/@hivewatchers/why-and-how-people-abuse-and-plagiarise" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise</a> by @hivewatchers.

In addition, since you're new, you may run into an RC (Resource Credits) error when trying to comment/post because you don't yet have enough Hive in your account yet. For assistance with a temporary delegation to get you started, be sure to check out the <a href="https://giftgiver.site/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Gift Giver site</a>. 

If you have questions, feel free to hop into the [OCD Discord server](https://discord.gg/wKPunkz9wK) and we'll do our best to answer them, and again welcome to Hive!

Welcome to a brand new jive. I think you'll like it here!
