NEWBIES INITIATIVE TASK 2: HIVE GUIDELINES AND MARKDOWNS

The hive learners initiative have been a delightful experience and despite my clumsy table, I still must make time to do the task just because I have to make sure the learning curve is pleasant. Task 2 is all about the additional knowledge I got from @prayzz ---> here and watched @starstrings01 video ---> here. @kenechukwu97 had onces put me through few markdowns and some rules before now.

Blogging on hive requires following strict guidelines that has helped to keep the blockchain healthy and also make every one work diligently to exchange values. This has helped protect or hedge against the use of unhealthy shortcuts some people might want to use to get themselves upvotes. It also helps to advocate the beauty of intellectual property appreciation and referencing.

To answer the major question on the task, it's important to note that these rules are basically the fundamental rules applied to Blogging and content writing even outside the Hive blockchain.

Since I joined hive I will honestly say my writing skills has improved quite much. I now think like a blogger, almost finding something to write about in every senario. I have also met with cool bloggers here who write good articles and they always inspire me that I can improve my skills too. I have has also thought me it is more than writing. I includes everything you can find in the crypto space from defi, gamfi,nft etc.
Another amazing thing is it gives makes everything fun.

To paraphrase, Plagiarism is the act of presenting someone else's writing in a way that makes it look like yours without actually giving credits, by referencing, the original owner of the work. In the writing or research space, plagiarism is an offence. It is expected that as writers, we reference every work, photographs, quotes, definitions etc that is not originally ours. It's simply better to added a link to the source where you originally got the work from.

On ther other hand, vote begging as the name suggests is the outright begging for upvotes in a manner that is inappropriate. I believe if this was allowed then there will be no sanity here. Every post will be having on its comment session "votes4votes" "ffb". Crazy right. Such act is a red flag on hive.

Recycling is basically the act of rewriting the post of someone maybe because one ran out of ideas to write about. It is very unfair to not put effort and research into what one is about to post. Recycling should mental laziness and poor sense of judgement. It is highly prohibited on hive communities.

The post is an eye-opener and very insightful. It has helped me understand the pitfalls to avoid as a writer on hive blockchain or any othet places.
It has also given me ideas on different ways i can make my post attractive and professional. With practise, i hope to get better at using the markdowns.
