Getting started right is important. Following this prompt from HiveBuzz, on my first post, this seems like a good idea.

Following through, here is the transaction, for my first HPUD power-up:

Yes, I know this isn't going to pump the price of HIVE. We all have to start somewhere. While I continue to explore the Hive blockchain, I will take it a step at a time. Like I have up until now.
Next Steps?
In relation to powering up HIVE, this is a key question, from all I have read about it up until now. My usual approach to big decisions is to think about it, if time permits. In this case, I am sure it does.
For my future reference, some current considerations:
- From my experience in life, in general, and with crypto, in particular, I have learned the hard way that we should be very careful when putting our money into locked smart contracts. You invest in them knowing you cannot get your money out, but whatever enticement to go ahead anyway has convinced you.
While I agree that 13 weeks is not completely "locked," it is not a trivial period of time either. Especially when investing in crypto. - There seems to be a lot of different ways to invest HIVE beyond powering up. I won't say more now, as I learn more about it, but liquidity is important. It has not been my impression that HIVE POWER is liquid.
- Having options in life is important to me.
Comments on how others view this important question are welcome.

Discovering a key stat error on the HiveBuzz website, I am appealing to your for your help, @hivebuzz / @archange. Specifically on this KPI:
Source: Activity tab on HiveBuzz
Earlier today it correctly showed this KPI with 7/7, i.e. I had posted once every day, for my first week on the Hive blockchain. The only problem was it still showed the lock in place.
I assumed later in the day, your database would update somehow and I would get a notification of getting this accomplishment noted. Up until now, all of your other auto notifications have come through, without fail, as far as I can tell.
Please take a look at this. I cannot imagine that you will not agree some sort of error led to this outcome. Which may help you in troubleshooting an issue of benefit to more than just my account.
Thank you, in advance, for your help in getting this resolved.
