Hello @romandoesthings! This is @indayclara from @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team. We saw that you already posted your first blog here in Hive! Congratulations and welcome!
We do advice not copy pasting your old works here on Hive. But there is no rule for you not to link your other blogs from other mediums as long as it doesn't fall into any form of plagiarism or abuse.
But I am really looking forward on your hiking blogs! For travel blogs, share it in the Haveyoubeenhere Community just make sure to read the rules there. I think you would also like Photography Lovers.
It's also best to subscribe to other Communities you like and share your blogs there to have a wider range of audience. Or you can check out the Communities Incubation Program.If you are looking for tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: Newbie guide. If you have questions, you can hop into Discord server and we'll gladly answer your questions.
Also, letting you know 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.
Hello @lovesniper
Thank you for the kind welcome and the advice :-) I'll be sure to check those communities out.
About copying my existing content: Since it's already on my own blog (that I intend to keep going) and it's also content that I think/hope people here will like, I was going to crosspost them here, but I will change the format (since I have a three column layout on my blog) and use higher resolution images without watermarks. I may also slightly rewrite them where appropriate, so that they take on a unique "flavor" here and aren't just copies of my existing content.
As for old, the blog is pretty new but already has lots of content. I spent the last two months writing about all my hikes of the last three years and backdating the posts to the date of the hike.
Do you think that's Okay? Alternatively I could just share my favorite pictures without copying the stories, or with short summaries, but since I've already written those stories, they're bound to be very similar even if I write them anew.
For the future I was planning on crossposting on my blog and here. The hiking blog is ad-free and not monetized by the way. It's just a pet project of mine that I'd be very reluctant to abandon now.
