RE: Ecency waves Sep 08

in #waveslast year

Seeing as Hive doesn't allow multiple blogs, how does everyone here separate their blog entries into different topics? Do you rely on hashtags or do you use communities? Is there a way to do something like Publish0x where you can have multiple blogs?

Sort:  

Maybe set up another account for the additional blog and list that account as an author when you post content on that topic…

It's messy to do that and you have to pay.

I'm thinking of something like Publish0x where you can have 3 different blogs to one account.

I'd like to have one blog for my general stuff. One blog for my woodworking posts. One blog for my tech related posts. All without having to log into separate accounts each time I want to post.

May creating a community to do this but can a community prevent others from posting to it?

Yeah, I feel like you can limit the amount of authors to a community and it would be cheaper as long as the price of hive stays down.

I feel like the need to have keys in our system just makes us have to get creative for work arounds for this one

@thelowededwookie! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @bigtakosensei. (1/1)

This is definitely something that can be built into a UI, which has not been done yet.

Actually you can make a collection on peakd! Actually have 2 of them lol

Ahhh now there's the rub. I just need Ecency to add that feature. I prefer Ecency to PeakD if I'm being honest here.

Some people have multiple accounts for it. I don’t worry about it much because communities, I don’t think you suffer as much for jumping topics as you would somewhere where there are algorithms

Surely just using the tag/community for each post would suffice? Then if people wanted to find ‘all’ your content they could in your main posts page.

To a certain extent I do agree and that’s how I approach it. But what about those who stumble across my blog and check out more of my posts? It might have been a post I did on tech or woodworking but when they peruse my blog they see a bunch of other random posts and they get turned away. Clear boundaries of topics would make this easier for them rather than those searching for particular topics.

Yeah I guess that may be an issue, or they may be excited about your writing style and brilliant posts and be lured into another subject they didn’t think they were interested in. Much like the YouTube algorithm, pulling users in with one video and allowing them to explore more content by the same creator even when sometimes of a totally different genre.

I believe peakd offers a way to make collections of posts, that may be the easiest way to manage it on a personal level, however more ease of use features on Hive overall would be awesome! Another idea would be to make pinned posts with back links to your other posts on each blog subject. Or as suggested using alt accounts under the same brand. I hope you find a solution to your dilemma, and maybe one day Hive will develop it on a grand scale.

I’ll carry on with how I’m going so far and have a think.

I do feel a little easier with your suggestion that they may be drawn in. I never thought about it like that. I guess it would mean they’re drawn to me not the topic which seems quite nice and humbling.

I like to think we’re on Hive to build a brand/account of value, not just individual posts. I found myself intrigued by your AI posts, I’m looking forward to your perspectives on other subjects. Good luck on your Hive journey!

Thanks mate. I've never thought about making myself a brand. I know it's a thing but I just write about what I like or dislike.

I have an IT background, although I'm no longer in the game. I write a lot about tech but I'm also a beginner/amateur woodworker and DIYer so I write about that as well. Then there's just general life, environment, spirituality, etc that interests me that I might write about.

I'm going to think more about your idea of making myself a brand. It's an interesting concept to me. Thanks heaps.

Even a personal blogging account is a brand, it’s who you are and what you put put into the world. If you’re creating content you’re aiming to gather a following, or at the very least have someone view your content.

Sounds like you have a lot to write about, I look forward to viewing it! Consider using the slothbuzz tag (#slothbuzz )sounds like the content they’d be interested in, especially the long form posts.

@thelowededwookie! Your post is buzzing, you were tipped 0.01 SLOTHBUZZ on behalf of @slothlydoesit.

I think you should post only one blog in a daily and try to post one but with quality. Focus on quality not on quantity.

It’s not about that. It’s about having clear boundaries on the topics I enjoy. Rather than one blog that covers everything I like to have separate ones that cover that one topic. That way the blog doesn’t appear to be all over the place.
