Hi @traciyork! Thank you for the community recommendations and the other links.

I first heard about Hive in a vlog sometime a year ago, along with a few other similar blockchains. Later it turned out that a friend of mine, @pokermaria, is using it. She thought it might be useful to me. Some time back in the winter, I registered with her help and received some HIVE from her so that I could use it actively. And that was 4-5 months ago.😀
