Hello @deckmaster! This is @indayclara from @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team. We saw that you already posted your first blog here in Hive! Congratulations and welcome! Great to hear you are enjoying Splinterlands. 

Anyways, the best way to start your journey here in Hive is do an awesome [introduction post](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@ybanezkim26/keeping-up-with-the-buzz-my-introduction-to-the-hive-community). You can choose on whatever information you would like to share and be creative as you want to be. This will help other Hivers get to know you and be comfortable supporting your works here. 

It's also best to subscribe to other [Communities](https://peakd.com/communities) you like and share your blogs there to have a wider range of audience. Or you can check out the [Communities Incubation Program](https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@ocd/ocd-communities-incubation-program-update-48). 

Also, letting you know since content on the Hive platform is monetized, using other people’s ideas or images could be considered as an offense and which is also viewed in a serious light on the blockchain.  Here is a [useful collection of resources]( https://peakd.com/ccc/newbies-guide/abuse-and-plagiarism) about how plagiarism and abuse is viewed and handled on Hive.

Feel free to tag @lovesniper @indayclara once you have made your awesome introduction post! See you around.

Hi @deckmaster! I'm also from the @OCD Love Sniper team, and wanted to say I'm sorry to see you were already "greeted" by a bunch of downvotes before our visit. While one of the awesome things about Hive is the ability to upvote, it also comes with the less awesome but necessary downvote. While I don't usually do this, I've counted the dv with an upvote from my personal account to help make up the difference. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to give me a shout!
