Hello @michieme. First of all, happy birthday to the birthday girl! It's an event that ha to be celebrated each year.
I see you're new on Hive, so let me drop you a few suggestions to help you navigate better on our platform.
We have different communities on Hive and we're encouraging users to post in the right community based on the topic of the post. This post for example would fit better in Family & Friends or Daily Blog community.
OCD is for topics that don't fit in any other community and should be used when you don't find a niche community for your post.
Here's a guide I put together to help you learn about how communities work and why you should use them -> Communities Explained - Newbie Guide.
Once you posted your post in the right community, you can then cross post it to OCD community. Here's a guide about cross posting.
Please don't delete any post with the purpose of reposting it in another community as that can be considered abuse! Leave this post here, you'll get it right next time.
Good luck, happy blogging and let me know if you need more help :)
Thank you so much! Appreciate the help. I looked at communities and didn't come across one to fit, clearly I didn't look hard enough.
You're welcome!
Great advice, @erikah 😀 Wish I'd have someone like you helping me when I was new (although I'm still relatively new, and learning more every day !)
@michieme - something else you'll find is that the more active you are, the more of a community you'll gather around yourself. The first thing I tend to do each day when I log on is go to new posts, select "My Community" and upvote a bunch of those. It's a kind of mutual support thing, and grows over time.
Also, if I ever get to visit South Africa, I'll have to remember to bring some original perfume with me as gifts.....
Thank you! :)
