It’s a true movement and blockchain, and I love that you decided to join us here. You will have fun blogging and vlogging I promise. And the garden will have some great tags to blog in about that hobby.
But in the beginning it’s hard and new and maybe you need help. We have amazing people here and a help discord if you need it. I love blogging, been here for three years already. But always be carefull with all your passwords, Never give those up !! I speak from experience !
I use Peakd to post to Hive, but Ecency is also a possibility. It’s a website, mobile and desktop application that improves your experience on Hive.

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   ***Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own***.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

Have fun and happy Hiving!
