As a new member of the Blurt writing platform, I recently decided to get adventurous and try my luck piecing together an article on its blockchain site BeBlurt.com. I mean, what did I have to lose? When I first started out on the Hive writing platform, I was composing all of my articles and posts on my Hive.blog channel. Later on, I decided to do so exclusively on PEAKD.com, and I found that my PEAKD channel was much more user-friendly than my Hive.blog channel.
I had expected that my BeBlurt channel was going to be much more user-friendly than my Blurt.blog channel. Boy, was I in for a rude awakening. I encountered so many problems with my BeBlurt channel that I don't even know where to begin in describing what they were.
First of all, I noticed that every article I had posted on my Blurt.blog channel appeared as double-spaced on my BeBlurt channel, even though I had composed them as single-spaced on my Blurt.blog channel. Struggling with the HTML codes in piecing together my first article on my BeBlurt channel was bad enough. To add insult to injury, my BeBlurt channel had hardly any tools to compose an article. I was pretty much on my own.
Second of all, you also need a 6-digit code to log into your BeBlurt channel. Logging into my PEAKD channel was never that involving.
Third of all, I ended up having to expend additional amounts of my Blurt currency to correct errors that the site itself made instead of me. That is, every time I wanted to edit my article and add something or change something, the description box for it would erase what I had typed in it and replace it with the description of one of the pictures in my article. This annoyance happened at least three times.
If I were to receive Resource Credits regularly on the Blurt writing platform as I do on the Hive writing platform and the Steem writing platform, I wouldn't mind as much short of there still being a principle here. However, this is Blurt currency that I cannot simply recover by contacting a customer service representative for the Blurt writing platform and explain to him or her what took place.
The fact alone that I was forced into expending additional Blurt currency needlessly at least three different times would convince me that I needed to quit the Blurt platform altogether, that is, unless some Good Samaritan at the top of the blockchain were somehow to help me recover those three needless expenditures of Blurt currency.
A small voice inside of me is still urging me to tough it out on the Blurt writing platform and merely use my Blurt.blog channel at all times to prevent such mishaps in the future. Today I got my first Blurt compensation. Therefore, I know that everything is not all bad. However, when I first started out on the Hive writing platform, I never really had to tough anything out. Everything worked as it was supposed to do so.
So, where do I go from here? I guess time will only tell. I do have to admit that I have met some kind souls on the Blurt writing platform. Then again, I have met some very helpful individuals here on the Hive writing platform too. I'm yet to make my fortune on any of these writing platforms. The HubPages writing platform seems to be the most promising out of all of them, even though I don't like the censorship that goes on there.
If you have any suggestions on what you think I should do based upon what you would do if you were in my shoes, I'd be more than happy to read about it in the comments section below. My presence on the Blurt writing platform has been a most interesting one, to say the least.
