Hello Everyone!
My name is Roman, and as the user name suggests, I like to do things.
Specifically, and among other interests, I love hiking, gaming, gardening, and most recently: photography.
In fact, here I am on a hike not too long ago, capturing something on my first real camera (picture courtesy of my wife):
I learned of Hive today and immediately fell in love with the idea. I'm no stranger to crypto, but somehow this awesome platform has escaped my attention for far too long. Well, better late than never.
I already maintain several blogs on various topics, hiking and nutrition among them, but I'm looking forward to also share my experiences and tips here from now on.
My concept, and please let me know if this fits in with the culture and philosophy of the place, is to share my favorite pictures and hiking stories here, and provide a link to the relevant posts on my hiking blog. The latter because I like to share the entire route report with often over fifty pictures, plus interactive maps, stats, and useful links (like local weather, nearest bus station/parking, etc.) and well, the layout and format I created on my own site is much more conductive to that, not to mention slideshow features and similar. If such links are frowned upon, I'll of course refrain from using them and keep to the highlights here.
With nutrition, animal protection, consumer advice, and similar topic posts, I can just post the whole thing here of course.
So, if you'd like to see lots of pictures from (mostly) Swiss hiking trails, make sure to follow me :-)
I'm looking forward to reading your opinions.
Have a great day :-)
The picture I was taking:
Not the best shot from that hike, but such is reality.
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.
