When we use the Hive blockchain, there are many tools and links on the page, regardless of which interface we use — Hive.Blog, PEAKD, Ecency, Lumen, Liketu, etc. Those tools and links help us navigate and get things done, and I am grateful for them! But when we share a link to our blog page with someone who is not a Hive user, all those extra badges, tools, lists, and links can be intimidating and confusing.
So, a while back, the lead developer for PEAKD (
In short (ᴛʟ;ᴅʀ):
• simply claim the address with your Hive username
• customize the look of the page, if you wish
• then start sharing the link with family or friends!
You could also print the URL on your business cards, put the link on your personal website, or whatever you wish to do with it!
If you wish to customize your page [optional], merely click the "gear" icon to open a popup window. There are many more options than is shown in the screenshot below, so scroll down thru the popup to see them all. Also, there are three tabs under the words "Customize Blog" (ʙʟᴏɢ–ᴄᴏɴᴛᴇɴᴛ–ᴛʜᴇᴍᴇ), so be sure you peek at all the great options under each of those tabs!
You can customize your name and you can type up to 300 characters as an "About Me" to display in your header. If you choose not to do that, whatever is on your blockchain's blog header will be used. Note that any changes here stay on your sharable blog page and do not change the header on the blockchain, itself. You can change the date & time formats that visitors to your blog will see. You can change the format between 'grid' and 'list' as well as toggle the menu across the top of the page to a sidebar. There are several themes to choose from (with more available for "Premium" users). I rather liked the "Brutalist" theme in grid format, so that is what is showing in the following screenshot on my shareable blog page, shown below:
I submitted two suggestions for improvements thus far:
• add "Collections" to the menu across the top
• render flush-right justification if that code was used when writing the blog
Both of those suggestions were implemented very quickly after I made them! It is amazing how fast the PEAKD team responds! 💞 I have one other suggestion to make, but I am going to think about it a bit before submitting it.

This is definitely a very cool thing for sharing our blogs with people who are not signed-up for Hive! Big thanks to
