Hello @tdgodwin3780! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team - long time, no see. 😂
We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive - congratulations and welcome! It would also be awesome if you could do an introduction post, so our community can get to know you better. For information on how to write an intro post, please check out the SELF INTRODUCTION section of the post 3 things Newbies should do in their first week on Hive.
Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - Hive Communities. I see you've already discovered @raymondspeaks Man Cave (and as I said on Twitter, I'm biting my tongue... lmao), and I think you'll enjoy checking these out as well -
And of course @steevc's Whisky/Whiskey community. 😊
Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched Newbies Guide should be helpful to you, as it is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works.
Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.
For now, @lovesniper will follow your account and we are looking forward to seeing your intro post. Also, please tag @traciyork & @lovesniper in your intro post in order for us to be notified, so we can consider your post for OCD curation. Lastly, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server if you have any questions!
Does it matter where the intro post goes or should I pick a specific community?
If you want to introduce yourself to a community at the same time (like a writing community) you could post it in that one. But for intro posts, sharing it in the OCD community works.
Also, just noticed that you didn't add a source to your Unsplash photos - when you have a moment, could you edit your post to add them? As I said about Hive being different, if you share content that isn't yours (even if it's Free To Use like your pictures), it's a good idea to make that clear. Thanks!
Will do. Getting hammered with clients at the moment but I will jump on there asap and get the introductory post up and source the photos. I appreciate it!
