🌊 Diving Into HIVE 🦈

in Introduce Yourself β€’ 3 years ago (edited)

My HIVE introduction post!

Hello everyone!

Shoutout to my wonderful boyfriend @birdbeaksd for teaching me and introducing me to everything crypto related including getting me to join HIVE!

Interests

Things that catch my attention are everything related to sharks, art, video games, monsters/fantasy creatures, exotic pets, exotic foods, fashion (mainly street fashion), animation, gore, all the stuff I forgot to list, etc.

Hobbies

I've drawn since forever but only started taking it more seriously around middle school, I've mostly drawn traditional paper drawings. I'm trying to branch out into digital art as my main creative outlet though since it's much easier, more fun, and not dying in the digital age. My favorite subjects to draw are monster girls, which are animal/monster human hybrids.

Below is my most recent paper drawing!

I also recently got into needle felting wool sculptures! Below is my rendition of a Lopunny from Pokemon! (P.S. the signature is different because I've only just started using my username to sign my art as opposed to my initials)

I also love playing all types of video games either with my boyfriend and friends on Steam or by myself, watching movies, TV series, cartoons, or anime, learning about different types of fashion, foods, art techniques, listening to music, and singing!

Goals in The Crypto World

I want to learn more about play-to-earn crypto games and I'm thinking of starting a digital art blog here, which is why I figured I needed an intro post first before doing that out of the blue! Once I gain enough followers I may look into starting an NFT collection of my art!

Conclusion

Thank you so much for reading and getting to know a little bit about me! I'm still very new to everything here and wouldn't mind checking out helpful articles for newcomers if any were left in the comments!

Buy a cool domain. There is .art (and 1000 others). Shorter, exacting, memorable. .COM is saturated the new ones are getting more popular. I have invested in 100 of them myself. I believe in the NON-COM.

With your own domain and wordpress website you can do all this stuff on HIVE but from your own site. Use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/exxp-wp/

It's really easy. Now all your content goes on your own website. When you post it, this plugin will automatically post to HIVE websites, like this (and others). You collect the crypto from your posts. It's posting on ALL the platforms.

It's really super cool. Right below the article you post on your own site, you (and everyone else) sees the rewards you get etc. The HIVE commenting system is right on your site.

WAY WAY better to do it from your own website. Like I said, you still get the exposure from ALL the other hive sites! It's MORE effective than posting on just one like this.

didn't know that, thank you for sharing I totally gotta look into that once I start posting art stuff!

Yea I can suggest https://porkbun.com to do it. The domains are cheap there, you won't get gouged. You get free wordpress hosting with your domain. And it's so easy to use over there.

Any place else you might find difficulty getting started. I can't stress how easy it is with porkbun. And free simple hosting, all you need to get started.

I don't have any examples I can show :( You pick a cool theme, figure out wordpress a little bit. Not too hard once you figure out how to install the plugins. Check out all the settings available.

Like I said, it will do exactly what you are doing here. It will send all your posts to peaked and others like hive.blog. You get your post sent everywhere, but you control all the content from your own site.

ooo alright sounds interesting, thanks!

Welcome to the world of hive.
warm wishes
