Welcome to Hive, greetings from Vienna, Austria!

Welcome Jerome to HIVE you are here !!!!

Thats a interesting you are from SA we have more great hivers from there, @jaynie @chekohler @joanstewart and great you put your first blog and left it here on the blockchain, so welcome, welcome to the Hive movement and blockchain. Your first blog is up and on the chain, hope you feel relieved, and not afraid of what is coming your way in the comments.
We know it can be daunting and frightening because all is new.
If you want to read some history this is a blog https://peakd.com/hive-198524/@hivepeople/hive-for-noobs-hive-198524 about it.

But for now the new beginning, you will have fun blogging and vlogging I promise. But in the beginning it’s hard and all is new and maybe you need help. We have amazing people here and a help discord if you need it. I love blogging, and was a newcomer once aswell so i know the feeling. The biggest and best advice is always be carefull with all your passwords, Never give those up !! I speak from experience !

What always will help you build your new hive account, and profile on here, is establishing relationships and the best way to build them is to comment on other people's posts, there are so many topics here, and there will always be one that is of interest to you but also be interested in them, by reading and upvoting. This will draw them to your own account aswell, where they will discover a little more about you and relationships take off from there, and comments and votes will be the next step. When you have a twitter account you van visit #hivelift for more information.

I use Peakd to post to Hive. But hive.blog is an option too. They work well and let me know if you have difficulty.

Good luck with with hive experience and I Will See you around and may you find here what you are looking for. Just remember that all good things come in good time and never giving up is THE key to the big succes on the Blockchain.

Also you could join the the Terminal discord. Or visit @heyhaveyamet for more new arrivals, newbies exposure in the beginning is very important, and you can always learn from others.
Let me know if this was helpfull or if you need more help, or better see you in Discord
the Terminal.
Here is the invite its free,

Greeting from the Netherlands
@ Brittandjosie

Welcome to the Hive community @poomps!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Seven suggestions to consider:

1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and Peaklock,
3. The owner password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
   be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. Do Not open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hivians available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!

Hey Jerome, welcome to HIVE always great to see more South Africans finding out about this place! The more locals the better, can’t keep letting the rest of the world enjoy blockchain without us, since we like to be late to the party, but NOT this time

If you like to talk crypto you should check out the @hodlcommunity and leofinance.io it’s a site that is built on HIVE but only crypto content is cuRated on it

Plenty to see and learn so I won’t overload you, how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole is up to you

All the best, hope to see you around

Another South African touches down on Hive, great news.

Wishing you a wonderful new week, another fun adventure has begun @poomps

Welcome @poomps, I look forward to you sharing with the hive community.
