Welcome to the Hive circus, Jon! Hope you find a niche here that fits you... if you're patient and diligent you'll discover a great community of people with a vast array of interests.
Like all social media, it takes a while to be "seen" and gain some traction, but hang in there... we all started at point zero, at one time!
Thank you for the encourgement, I like to say, "patience and persistence will get you far in life".
