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 ***Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own***.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

Hello @sa-gaze! 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!

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 all the awesome things you've shared, I'm thinking you might find these interesting to start off with - 

<a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-163521/about" rel="noopener" target="_blank">STEMGeeks</a>

<a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-120586/about" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Foodies Bee Hive Community</a>

<a href="https://peakd.com/c/hive-152524/about" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Cinnamon Cup Coffee</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> should be helpful to you, as it is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works. For instance, there's a post in the collection called <a href="https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@livinguktaiwan/3-things-newbies-should-do-in-their-first-week-on-hive" rel="noopener" target="_blank">3 things Newbies should do in their first week on Hive</a> that you might find helpful. 

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.

I'm sure ~~@muterra~~ @blackheart1 will continue to help you as you begin your Hive journey, but if you have any 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!

A perfect introduction. 
Welcome 🤗
