Good day to you all, It's an honour to be part of the newbies initiative. This initiative has always been an exciting one and highly educative. It has also been a wonderful guide to newbies through their series of tutorials such as the Do's and don't's of hive and most recently our tutor @prayzz instructions on Markdowns.
My Experience with Hive ever since I joined.
Joining hive has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made in a while. Hive has instilled in me the habit of staying occupied. I don't think about things that aren't important anymore. Rather, I spend my time looking for and exploring new ideas. I'm looking into ways to develop a high-rated piece of work. I had no idea how to navigate on hive when I first joined the Blockchain, but with the help of others, I was able to figure it out. My time with hive has been fantastic, especially with folks like @martinlazizi always willing to provide a hand. Though I m yet to perfect blogging, but I believe I am making progress and hope that with more effort, I will be scaling greater height.
My thought on plagiarism and vote begging
Plagiarism. is taking credit of work that is not yours, that is, taking someone else's idea and work as your own with or without their consent. It has always been a crime to take other people's work without proper reference. Not just on hive but also in attempt to publishing paper work. For me, plagiarism is wrong and not be considered so let's do away with it.
Vote begging shows how desperate a blogger is and this doesn't go well with a lot of people as they get irritated with it. Instead of begging for your post to be read and curated, we can get assistance and recognized by visiting the blogs of bloggers who joined before us, carefully read their post and leave a constructive comment on their pages.
Still on Vote begging, the good comments we leave on bloggers page will encourage them to atleast visit your page. Another way to avoid vote begging is putting efforts in making high rated post that will attract the attention of other bloggers.
My thought on Recycling.
Post Recycling is the idea of changing a previous post and reposting. This isn't a good idea because, not being able to sale new ideas shows home effortless one is. Hive is a platform where new ideas should be sold. All it requires is hard work, research and full engagement. On the other hand, Recycling of post should not be considered as totally bad, as it can also be a way of boosting and improving a previous post which was not carefully handled. Bear in mind that repetition without variation is boring. We ought to Change a few sentences or making some additions and improvements based on the feedback or discussion from the original post. This is a good way to add variety and add quality to your recycled post. This requires high level of intelligence as Some good readers and followers will definitely notice when the exact same content is reposted.
Recycling the exact same content shows how lazy the blogger is and this can leaves a bad impression.
For me, in as much as recycling is not accepted, improving and boosting the contents of a previous post should be considered in order to correct the mistakes through comments, discussion and encouragement gotten from other bloggers on the original post.
How helpful has this post been to you in understanding Markdowns!
The MARKDOWNS tutorial has been of great help to me. This few days, I have been able to beautify my work, adding designs that attract readers to desire to read through, making headers of different sizes, changing the color of my work, bolding my work and italics, justifying the work, changing my letter to tiny, bolding and centralizing. Am aware I have more to learn, so all I need is to put more effort in practicing and learning new ones.
