Good morning @sandrayalmas. I see that you have been posting on Foodies Bee Hive, however, I don't see that you have made a formal presentation on Hive, (in the community of your choice). This is really strange, as the introduction on the platform is necessary, so that we know your name, where you are from, what interests you have. It is also necessary that you put pictures of yourself, in your presentation post.
However, here are some recommendations that may be useful for you to publish in this community; however, I reiterate that your presentation is a priority, before making any other presentation, you must make your presentation post before other posts.
That it be a 100% original post. We do NOT accept plagiarism and publication of old content, even if it is your own.
Posts written in English or bilingual, but English must be one of the languages used.
Post of an acceptable size, at least 350 words (minimum).
That it is a well-written post with good spelling.
That you use photographs taken by you, properly identifying the equipment used for it, either camera or cell phone. We do not accept photographs from third parties, even if they are copyright free. We also do not accept text from others, even if the source is cited.
In case of presenting a recipe, there is a basic structure, which obeys a logical order: An appropriate title, an introduction in which you will talk about the dish in a general way, for example, you can say whether or not it is a traditional recipe, how you learned it, on what occasions it is prepared, what you feel when preparing it, etc., this brings emotion to your recipe, and allows readers of other nationalities, to know more about your culture. A list of ingredients expressed in units of measurement that are understandable anywhere in the world, it is not good to use expressions such as: "a big potato", "a splash of oil", "a little salt", but to express these quantities in grams, liters, kilos, pounds, etc. A well-developed step-by-step, which reflects with text and photographs what is being done at each stage of the recipe. And a final result, in which you present the dish already finished and duly plating.
It is important to see you from time to time elaborating your recipes, so it is recommended that you appear in some photographs.
The photographs must be clear. Natural light is recommended, as it brings more beauty and sharpness to the photos. It is also important that the shot of the photo does not focus only on the contents of the dish, the pot, cup, container, etc., but that it is wider and shows part of the environment of the preparation, such as the board or table where it is prepared, the kitchen, etc.
- And you can orient yourself with respect to the labels in our community, there are a series of suggestions there.
In general terms these would be the features of a good post. Obviously there are other more specific elements that can be considered important, such as the layout of the publications. If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to ask any of the Foodies curators.
It is also important to form a sense of community, so it is nice that you comment and later, vote for some posts from fellow Foodies. This creates a very positive and enjoyable interaction.
I hope this information has been useful to you.
Good morning @@@sirenahippie and thankyou so much for your guidance and the precious instructions. Really I was unaware of the introduction and many other things. Next time I will try my best to follow all the points.
