Hello @andysporring! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive - congratulations and welcome! You didn't mention how you found our blockchain home, but I get the feeling the very awesome @shadowspub had something to do with it. 😊

It would also be awesome if you could do more of an introduction post, so our community can get to know you better. For suggestions on how to write an intro post, please check out the SELF INTRODUCTION section of the post 3 things Newbies should do in their first week on Hive.

Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - Hive Communities. Based on what you've written, I think you might enjoy these to start off with -

Hive Book Club Community

Scholar and Scribe

Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched Newbies Guide should be helpful to you, as it is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works.

Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.

For now, @lovesniper will follow your account and we are looking forward to seeing your intro post. Also, please mention (also known as tagging) @traciyork & @lovesniper in your intro post in order for us to be notified, so we can consider your post for OCD curation. Lastly, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server if you have any questions!

Oh actually, one more thing - when you have a moment, could you add a mention of Hive on
the Medium version of this post (or alternately, add the word "Hive" to your Twitter account), so I can get your account verified? That way, any future curators won't question if you're really the person behind this account. Once it's verified, you can remove the link/mention. Thanks!
