Hello @udcynosure! This is @ybanezkim26 from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team. We saw that you already posted your first blog here in Hive! Congratulations and welcome!
We have great communities I think you would like especially the Foodies Bee Hive community since you mentioned that you love cooking. Looking forward to reading your future blogs!
It's also best to subscribe to other Communities you like and share your blogs there to have a wider range of audience. Or you can check out the Communities Incubation Program.If you are looking for tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: Newbie guide. If you have questions, you can hop into Discord server and we'll gladly answer your questions.
Also, letting you know since the 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 about how plagiarism and abuse is viewed and handled on Hive.
Thanks for those wonderful tips @lovesniper. It's with great delight to know that my post has been approved and I'll take time to visit other communities like the @foodie bee hive you recommended. I would love to acquaint myself with some terms used here like curation, power up and others.
