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

***Nice to know you man! It doesn't need to be always, writing could be a good stress reliever though***

Welcome to the Hive community @sp3ktraline!
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 publish and do everything except Wallet with the Posting key 
2. Use your **Active key only** for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, Hivesigner, and Hivelock,
3. The ***Owner*** key and the ***Master password*** are only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. ***DO NOT*** lose your passwords; but **copy and store them offline in a safe place,**
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 ***Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own***.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*** **click on 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:
