Hi @chillwithshanna
Thanks so much for the welcome. It looks like there's a lot to read, I've gone into the communities tab and there are so many I got quite excited. I'm definitely going to get going on reading that Newbie guide tonight and if I run into hassles will let you know, thank you for the encouragement.
I used my own photo edited in Canva, the same with my profile photo. I'll write that in my blog next time, sorry about that.
It's good to read that plagiarism is dealt with, a friend of mine's university assignment was once plagiarised by one of her classmates and she was so mad when she found out. The worst part was that the girl got away with it. It was so unfair because I know how much effort she put into it and then it was basically stolen from her. Even years later she still mentions it from time to time and I can see how much it pains her. That's definitely not something you'll have to worry about with me, my articles will all be my work.
Thanks so much for the comment and all the helpful links, I have lots of reading material for tonight in bed 🙂
Thats great, sure just let me know or you can also go to discord a lot can help you there. also, would you care share to us how you got on hive? ☺️
