Lizelle the intrepid founder of the Silver Bloggers' community created this account on 27 April 2021 and powered up four days later. That is just on a month ago, and it seems appropriate on Hive Power Up Day, to take the opportunity to reflect on developments in that time.
Some numbers and things
As I write, the community has 135 subscribers and of these, 65 are active in the community.
To help her, Lizelle has begun gathering a team and in addition to a second administrator, @fionasfavourites, she's supported by moderators, @papilloncharity and @tarazkp.
A good foundation
In addition, a foundation for a strong community is being laid. This began with the inaugural Blog of the Week challenge - watch out for the winners' announcement post in the next couple of days. The #bow initiative is designed to do a number of things - in addition to the prizes -
- build community spirit
- build the community account so that
- the community account can reward active members of the community. More about this once we have ironed out a few things.
...for those who asked -
Nobody is obliged to participate in the blog of the week initiative. Similarly, participating doesn't mean you can't post anything else in the community. It's just for fun and some folk just don't do challenges while others do. The topic will jive for some, not for others. All that's ok and it's what makes the world go round!
Good people - the 500 club
When we launched the #bow, we also began inviting members of the community to delegate to its account and we are delighted to be able to say a big thank you to those who have delegated to the account, @ericvancewalton, @thebigsweed, @farm-mom and @joanstewart.
The 500 Club roll of honour
If you'd also like to delegate, there's a nifty table at the end of this post that will make it easy.
Power Up Day
Because we put our money where our mouths are, we are joining the monthly power up day that @traciyork hosts. To quote/summarise from Traci's post
...to qualify for the AMAZING Hive Power Up Day badge(s), your power up must happen during the 24 hours of June 1st, 2021 according to UTC time.
And/or
If you want to qualify for the #HivePUD prize pool, your power up and post must happen (according to criteria listed below) during the hours of June 1st, your local time.
What is Hive Power Up Day?
Hive Power Up Day has been taking place since @streetstyle came up with the idea on that other blockchain back in April 2019. Essentially we all get together and power up (stake) our Hive on the first day of every month, and some offer prizes to smaller accounts to help them grow.What does it require?
On the first day of the month...
... anyone who is able to, powers up some Hive on the first of the month.
... accounts that are powering down, pause during the 24 hour span of the first of the month.
... anyone who is trading/selling Hive, pause those transactions during the 24 hour span of the first of the month (and possibly even cancel any type of sell order on any exchanges during that time as well).What are the rules to win prizes for HivePUD?
The requirements are:
So, following the instructions, this is our post and here's evidence of our having powered up just over 55HP
Oh, and before I go, for Silver Bloggers new to the blockchain and who participate in Hive Power Up Day, @fionasfavourites who sponsors three, three week delegations as part of #HivePUD has said that if there are "slim pickings", at least one of her delegations will go to a qualifying Silver Blogger's account.

Congrats @hive-106316 you have an amazing team, I still don't understand everything, but, sure I will get there, I powered up that's all I know, still need to understand about were it goes and which communities benefit and how I can help Silver bloggers community in future,have a great day everyone.
Well done @artywink! Powering up helps you as well as those upvoting your blogs with bigger earnings and at the same time strengthens the blockchain as a whole.
Think of those wealthy bank account holders, the banks treat them like kings/queens as it strengthens the bank itself. Here on Hive though, it is the community that benefits when it has a strong ecosystem, not some big organization!
Thank you @lizelle for the explanation, it makes sense, pud is quite exciting if one thinks about it. Can't wait until the next one.
I don't qualify for the hive power up day contest, I have a bit more than 8000 HP right now...
I'm definitely over 40, and I do a fair amount of blogging on hive, so at least I qualify for the silver bloggers community.😊
I haven't quite figured out what kind of posts are acceptable for the community...
Have a wonderful day all of you #silverbloggers. Thanks for the mention.
Very happy to help out this fun new community. Thank you for that cute little gold star.
