Hello @markstair! This is @chillwithshanna from @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) team. We saw that you already posted your first blog here in Hive! Congratulations and welcome!

As with all other platforms, there is room for improvement and hopefully Hive could work on being beginner and user friendly so we can bring in more people in this amazing platform.

Anyways, here at Hive we would love to get to know new users well. So the best way to start your journey here is to do an awesome introduction post. You can choose on whatever information you would like to share and be creative as you want to be. You might want to tag who introduced you to hive in your introduction post to thank them. This will help other Hivers get to know you and be comfortable supporting your works here.

It's also best to subscribe to Communities you like and share your blogs there to have a wider range of audience. Or you can check out the Communities Incubation Program.

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.
