Hello @chillwithshanna thank you for the welcome!

I basically read about it on reddit and I decided to give hive a try, got registered on it and examining how it works..

Also you should not worry about plagiarism on this account and I hope you'll be able to verify it soon enough. Also I've seen that when I tried to make this post, there was a beneficiary set as ocd, what's the thing about that?

Hey @Brittandjosie
Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm definitely gonna check the communities out, maybe that's why I got only one comment. Nevertheless your input means so much to me! I hope to start enngaging way more as soon as my RC gets up a bit..

Also thank you for the app suggestions! Hope too see you around!
Have a great day!

Welcome to the Hive community @bionicpainter!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:
1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
3. The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. Do not open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hivians available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

Well hello @bionicpainter! Welcome to Hive 😊 It looks like you got three awesome people all giving you great newbie help. If you don't know these people (who have already commented) they've got your back! Jamerussell's dot point list is fabulously useful to save somewhere. And I agree with brittandjosie; check out the art communities. You'll find more of your people on there (read: people who like art!). Happy playing and learning on Hive 😃
