Yes You did it! You joined hive , a few months after the first birthday of the platform. So Hi there , it’s nice to meet you and welcome.
2021 is gonna be a great blogging year, not on the least because you decided to join!
The beginning can be daunting and the tech language sometimes is nervewrecking but believe me it do able ! No it’s not a free get rich quick sceam but you can earn if you are committed. It’s a true movement and blockchain, and I love that you decided to join us here. You will have fun blogging and vlogging I promise. And the garden will have some great tags to blog in about that hobby.
But in the beginning it’s hard and new and maybe you need help. We have amazing people here and a help discord if you need it. I love blogging, been here for three years already. But always be carefull with all your passwords, Never give those up !! I speak from experience !

Good luck with with hive experience and I Will See you around and may you find here what you are looking for. Just remember that all good things come in good time and never giving up is THE key to big succes on the Blockchain. Also you could join the the Terminal discord, as I said before we help there with problems or questions, for free don’t worry. Or visit @heyhaveyamet for more new arrivals, all are in the same phase that might be helpful or reassuring. Newbie exposure in the beginning very important.

Hi @brittandjosie!

Thanks so much for your welcome message! It's great to be a part of this community. Your message has indeed been very useful to me.

I joined through ecency. I haven't figured out yet if I should post through ecency.com or hive.blog. Does it come down to the same thing or are there differences?

Thanks for the scam warnings!

Anyway, I need to go through all the newbie links and expect I will learn a lot.

Have a great week!

Derek.

I'm a bit of a nerd and I see some of your interests match mine! I'm especially curious to see some IT content 😄 get them posts ready! 😁

You're already part of The Terminal and in there you'll find all the help you need!

Have a great day/evening/night 🤣

Hi Trippymane. Thanks for your reply and your help in The Terminal. Even though most of my day is spent in IT, I actually haven't thought of posting on IT. Thanks for the idea! I will first concentrate on a better introduction post. 😀

Great idea! Introduce yourself in the proper way first 😎
I'll make sure to check that post once is up 😁
Whenever you need help, in The Terminal you'll always find someone available to help.

>Even though most of my day is spent in IT, I actually haven't thought of posting on IT.
