The Terminal Redfish Rally Summer Edition - Period 1: Understanding the Rules/Tips Challenge

Anytime I pick up my phone to make a blog about the above topic I get distracted and end up not making any blog for that day.

Today was no different at the start but I conquered cause I finally made the post.

As a rallier I'm bound by the rules and regulations set the coordinators in order to make a post concerning the rally challenge.

Geralt

Any how post that doesn't fulfill the requirements set would be politely declined in the #postpromo room and welcomed in the personal blog of the writer.

The rally is divided into two:

• Redfish rally 100
• Redfish rally 500

I'm in the latter and I'll be giving a run down of my understanding of all the rules and tips a taller should follow or fulfill.

There are five rules I'm going to be sharing and they include;

• Communities
• Pinmapple
• Blogging
• Tags and sourcing
• Tokens

1. Communities

Knowing the communities to join is one thing, knowing the communities to post in is another. Some communities have their specifications but none are bound to support your posts.

In The terminal ralliers are free to post their rallies in any community of their choice. It's now left for the ralliers to use to description of their challenge to choose communities to post in.

In my own suggestions blogs like;
Travel tour goes to #travelfeed
Goal setting goes to #ocd or #gems
Cybersecurity, AI, business goes to #projecthope etc.

2. Pinmapple

Personally I think pinmapple is coined from the collision of the words Pineapple and Map

It was formerly called steemit world map until it was moved to hive and the name changed.

If its a blog about travel adventure, @pinmapple is the appropriate place to pin it. The website for pinmapple is: https://pinmapple.com/.

At the website of pinmapple, you'd go to the place of travel in your blog. Then the site generates a code that is copied and pasted to your travel blog.
This in turn makes your blog visible on the worldmap.

3. Blogging

The main agenda for joining this hive community is to blog and get paid. What The terminal assist in is to provide topics for it's ralliers to write on should in case he or she runs out ideas.

There's so much fun in blogging that's why the terminal encourages it ralliers in both rally chat rooms to make a blog at least once in a week and post it in the appropriate #postpromo rooms provided for them.

4. Tags and sourcing

Another important thing to note while blogging or making a post is the appropriate tags to use. The maximum tags to use on Hive is 8 while Peakd is 10.

Miguel Á. Padriñán
When making a blog the tag should contain at least; the name of the community and subtexts in relationship to the body of the blog. If tags were already provided for a challenge, them the tags should be used for the blog.

Secondly while sourcing images it's important to use pictures that are particularly free. Water marked images should be avoided unless there's evidence that the user has paid for it.

Some sites that offers free images includes
Pixabay
Life of Pix

5. Tokens

There's a reward for every blog a rallier makes. It could be in form of an Upvote, Hive, Hive Power delegations or Tokens. Such tokens includes:
PAL, SHADE,CCC and CAT.

These tokens earned can be bought, sold, and traded on the platform. It can also be traded for steem or other tokens on https://steem-engine.com/

Tokens such as CAT, aren't worth much and are just for fun.

Tokens are earned and held in two ways:

If you are using Steempeak or PeakD, it will show in your wallet, yes. However, if you are using Steemit or Hive.Blog, it will not. (Steempeak and PeakD have a more advanced wallet)

If you are using Steemit or Hive.blog, you have to click on the links

To see the tokens

Markus Spiske
Tokens transferred on Discord through the $tip command is held by a bot named BANJO. To get those tokens from BANJO into the account on https://steem-engine.com/
The $withdraw command should be used. The syntax is:
$withdraw 20 SHADE steemname or hivename

Where $SHADE* is the token, '20' is the amount, and steemname or hivename is your name on the blockchain.
You can always see the tokens BANJO is holding on your behalf with: $bals
