Welcome to Hive JD, thanks for your excellent introduction post, I read a few now and then and think yours is one of the better ones I've read in the last few months.
By what you say here I think you'll have plenty to share with the community and I hope will enjoy your time here. I tell new people that posting with passion, personality and effort is the way to go. Comment on other people's posts in the same way and you'll be on your way. Your comments don't have to be super-lomg, just relevant.
Anyway, enough from me. All the best moving forward, and feel free to ask any questions along the way.
Edit: Delegated 50HP to you so you'll have ample resource credits for commenting.
Hello galenkp
Thank you so much for reading my article and the compliment. As I wrote in my previous reply, it looks like I have a lot of reading up to do to get into it and understand it all but I'll get there. Passion, personality and effort. Got it. I should be able to do that. Thank you for the encouragement and for the heart vote, that was very kind.
It was rather daunting at first, that's why it took me so long, but I know where to ask for help now if I get stuck along the way. I'm going to go have a look through the communities and see what there is that I could get involved in - it's almost like walking around a library and finding the right sections 😁
I think you'll do fine, just be yourself, have some fun and ask questions if you're unsure; it's better to ask than proceed blindly and possibly into strife.
I run a few communities myself which you could check out: WEEKEND EXPERIENCES and The Pew. Search will find them. There's a community that will fit almost every need so spend some time looking.
All the best.
Thank you very much, it's been a really nice welcome, I've been scrolling down the communities list and it's huge. Weekend Experiences? Oh I will look that up for sure. I like weekends.
Pew, as in church bench? Hold on let me go have a look
Lol, nope not pew as in church. You'll see.
Oh, thank you very much. I don't really know what that means, but it's another thing I'll look up tonight. I'm taking notes. I'm a quick learner, just have to work on the info retention part 🤣
Am I reading that right? You're on the side screen and it says 64,126 posts and comments. Whoa, that's a lot.
You need resource credits to permit commenting and because you have no HP to prove the RC I have delegated you some. It's not your HP and will come back to me eventually, but allows you the ability to comment which will help you build relationships and grow your account.
Lol, yeah I've been around a bit, made some posts and comments. I enjoy it though, and so continue. I hope you enjoy your journey also, it can be rewarding.
I confess that I went and looked up resource credits in an FAQ community but your explanation was just as good, far more concise. I understand it much better now thank you.
I'm already enjoying it.
Just had a look at your communities and I was like "Oh...ok, that kind of pew 🔫 not that kind of pew ⛪️". Sorry, for a second I thought maybe it was a church group. I feel a bit silly now.
I went to church once, got struck by lightning the moment I walked in. Never went back.
Lol. I'm not religious. Went to church when I was young, it wasn't for me. I like your Pew better. No offence to those that believe and all, each to their own. I've got some funny camping stories but they're probably better suited to your other community. Ever been chased by a hog while trying to barbeque? I have.
I got chased by a hog, that's why I ran into the church...and we all know how that turned out for me.
I jest of course...Or do I?
Interesting choice of place to duck & cover from a hog 🤣 So the lightning hit the hog and you had bacon sandwiches for days?
