Welcome to hive! I’m glad that you’re on here with us, it’s a wonderful place full of lots of great people!

I am glad that your son has gotten you to sign up with us, this is a great place! I think it’s best if you dive into some communities in the communities section and get to talking with people in their posts and comments. This is the best way to start out, so give it a try! 

We’ve got a beginner zone, so-to-speak that has lots of important information you can learn from. I would recommend you check it out to learn some stuff about the place, lots of great information is posted there.

One of the things I wanted to do is give you a piece of advice that could make this place awesome for you! Talking with some of the people who have been here for a while, we remember one of the best things we did was find other people’s posts through others or go looking and start commenting meaningful things. If you drop small phrases it won’t get you much attention but if you look at a persons post and leave a great comment, a lot of times they will appreciate it and talk with you. If you continue to do this you will develop a friendship with them and will gain followers and grow your account. This is not an easy and fast process. It takes time but the more effort you put in the more you can be rewarded, with limitations of course.

I just say this in hopes you go out there and really connect with people and grow your account. The more we all do this, the more people will come here to take advantage of such a great place.

With commenting and posting, we consume what’s called ‘resource credits’ and in the beginning you don’t have a lot, you have to earn more. If you want to consistently comment and post, the website https://giftgiver.site/ does 10 day delegations for you to increase your credits to comment or post. Give it a try if you need some! Please feel free to ask me about this if you are confused!

There’s also a great article that can answer a lot of the questions you may have. Please visit it at:
https://peakd.com/hive-198524/@hivepeople/hive-for-noobs-hive-198524

Here are also some great communities of people you can check out! The list is a work in progress so please take them as suggestions but there are a **LOT** of others besides these!

Welcome to the Hive community @maryvas!
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 and Peaklock,
  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:
