Hello @kklane ! This is @chillwithshanna from @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team. Congratulations for making your first post on hive and we welcome you to this awesome community!

Here at Hive we would love to get to know new users well. So the best way to start is to do an introduction post. You can choose whatever information you would like to share about yourself, be creative! Add pictures and also you might want to share how you discovered hive. If someone introduced you to hive, tag them in your introduction post to thank them. This will help other Hivers get to know you and be comfortable supporting your works here.

We have a lot of Communities you can subscribe to which are all categorized based on interest or topics. Share your blogs there to have a wider range of audience or you can check out the Communities Incubation Program.

Since content on the Hive platform is monetized, using other people’s ideas or images could be considered as an offense and which is also viewed in a serious light on the blockchain. Here is a useful collection of resources about how plagiarism and abuse is viewed and handled on Hive.
