Hello @vikingingergiant! This is @indayclara from @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team. We saw that you already posted your first blog here in Hive! Congratulations and welcome! Great to hear you are enjoying Splinterlands.
Damn, you got me with those 5 life lessons. Way to go on sharing your thoughts on this and I think a lot can relate to this.
Anyways, the best way to start your journey here in Hive is do an awesome introduction post. You can choose on whatever information you would like to share and be creative as you want to be. This will help other Hivers get to know you and be comfortable supporting your works here.
Also, letting you know since 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.
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. Feel free to tag @lovesniper @indayclara once you have made your awesome introduction post! See you around.
Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time out of your day to make sure the old man knows where to go. HAHAHAH. I kid. But in all earnest, thank you. I have found crypto space rather cold and unwelcoming.........or maybe it's my interpretation of what I "think" the crypto space is going to look, feel, and act like towards me and noobs in general. In any event, I am glad to be wrong on this one. Thank you again. And I am sure our paths will cross another time.
