Hello @brittandjosie! Thank you very much for the warm welcome and for the great tips on starting on this platform! You can call me by my nickname "bluebird". I have yet to explore the other dApps that Hive supports. I will definitely check out Ecency soon!

I started writing content for my own personal writing collection about two years ago and I agree with your thoughts of never giving up. There were multiple times where I experienced "writer's block", but patience and persistence really helped me through the challenging times. Most of my social blogging experience has been through Torum where you could make single, independent posts on different topics. Hive is actually the first platform I've been to with different dedicated "communities" where you could contribute your thoughts on specific topics.

I think the web space is full of fascinating stories of people, places, and events. My main motivation for blogging is simply to learn about the unique perspectives of others and contribute my own perspectives on different topics. And I think Hive is a great decentralized platform to begin this journey.

Thanks again for the wonderful welcome and have a great day!

Greetings from the USA!
