What an amazing response we had to our second blog of the month for 2022. If you missed the winning post, read it here. Don't just leave it at that, though, go and read some of the other posts. If you would still like to support the authors and because they're past their payout dates, please leave a tip. (The web versions of both @peakd and @ecency offer this facility.)
But first
The Silver Bloggers' community continues to grow. As we prepare this post, we are approaching the 1,000 mark with 981 subscribers, and of these, 174 are active - about 30 up on last month.
As a reminder -
All members' delegations (now more than 6k's worth of HP) help with account Mana and enable us to give increasingly meaningful upvotes. If you would also like to delegate, at the end of this post, there's a nifty table to help you do that. Alternatively, you can delegate directly from your wallet.
Also -
Please two other ways to offer support
Set @hive-106316 as a 5% beneficiary when you post in the community - every little helps.
follow our community curation trail - another way to support the community and its members. You can sign up here.
But that's not all
The community account in its own right, with this month's power up has tipped over the 1,500 mark and is now at 1,550HP. A major milestone. Every little bit makes our votes worth more as we support the members of our community.
This month's topic: Why I'm a Silver Blogger
As our community grows, we thought - and thanks to Silver Cat - that it might be an idea to reflect on this community and why we want to be part of it.
A little background
The Silver Bloggers' community account will be a year old on 17 April 2022. Silver-Blond Lizzie started it on the back of a suggestion from Flowing Silver. That's her story to tell, but when she dragooned me (Silver Flower) in to help, I hadn't found any community on Hive in which I felt comfortable. That's a story I do plan to tell... The point is, that when I became a Silver Blogger, one of the criteria was that I had to be not just over 40, but if not retired, considering it. Really? Another part of that story...
In the last ten or so months, there is a dedicated band of bloggers who regularly blog in our community. They also commune converse over coffee (or potentially other interesting substances) in our coffee corner on Discord...
So, the March #bom theme is simple:
I am a silver blogger: why?
To enter
How to enter your post for the Blog of the Month (#BoM) -
- Posts must be in English (or with a translation from your home language) and obviously centre on the month's theme or topic.
- Prose must be a minimum of 350 words. If it’s a photo or graphic essay, the photos must be your original work and preferably with some sort of back-story to the images.
- The blog must be posted in/from our community
- The account must be a subscribed Silver Blogger
- Use #BoM - blog of the month - as your first tag.
- Share the link to your entry in the comments of this post and in our Discord channel which is open to subscribed members only.
Word to the wise:
If you don't follow the rules, your entry will not count.
Also -
Do follow the #BoM tag so that you can easily find, upvote and comment on other contributions.
Reminders:
The community description which you will find here, is a guide to the content that is welcome in the Silver Bloggers' Community.
We will encourage folk who post content that doesn't jive, to find an alternative and more comfortable space in which to play.
and
To keep things fair: the same person (account) may not win twice in succession.
In summary, last edition's winner may enter, but the contribution, like those of the judges' panel, will not be eligible for a prize.
Deadlines
This round closes at midnight GMT (also known as UTC) on Thursday 10 March 2022 and the winners will be announced later the following week.
The prizes
We have a pot carried forward from last year, and from which we will continue to draw the prizes:
The winner gets
- 50% of the liquid rewards from the post announcing the winners. His/her account will be set as a 50% beneficiary
- 10 HBD that @lizelle sponsors
- 10 HBD sponsored by the Silver Bloggers Community
The runners up win, too
Thanks to our founder and Silver-Blonde Lizzie, the runners-up will also receive 5 HBD each, and we may be able to allocate another 5 HBD from the community account for the runners up - we'll look at what's left in the pot!
All prizes will be sent directly to the winners' wallets.
Would you like to sponsor a prize?
If you would like to sponsor a prize, please comment on this post and tag any of the mods (@coquicoin, @mondoshawan, @lizelle or @fionasfavourites).
Theme suggestions
If you have topic suggestions, please leave them in the comments?
Themes can be anything you like - within the Silver Threads preferred for this community. Content creators will, of course, make of them what they will.
Last words...
We would love to get more eyes on this post and all community posts from - @hive-106316 - our Silver Bloggers account. This is is why we try to make a point of reblogging your posts. Please do the same?

Approaching 1k, wow! Congratulations and A Happy First in advanced :)
The topic is great, would try to come up with my why :)
This seems interesting. Hearing about the silver bloggers for the first time, which means I can't participate In this.
But I'll definitely love to be a part of the community.
That's not necessarily true. Check us out, make a decision, and if you join, write a post about why. 🙂
I have not taken part in a while, it is about time I do.
Congratulations @hive-106316! You received a personal badge!
Participate in the next Power Up Day and try to power-up more HIVE to get a bigger Power-Bee.
May the Hive Power be with you!
You can view your badges on your board and compare yourself to others in the Ranking

Greetings to all, I leave my participation in the contest of the month and I want to propose a theme to consider for the following editions:
What is the adventure you remember most from your past and which is the one you have not yet made real?
These are two questions, in one. 😊
I would also like to baptize myself as silver eagle 🦅
Thank you @hive-106316 @lizelle @fionasfavourites
