Hello PeakD - let's get this symphony going!

Hello World... 😀

Blogging is both new and old to me; I've gone through the ringer of social media platforms aimed at different communities and with different purposes. I am hoping hive and peakd are the ones for me! I'ld be using the platform to post on a few different topics which you'll get a preview of below.

Who am I? 😏
I'm a lawyer, father, entrepreneur, musician, gardener, philosopher, gamer, amateur lumberjack, and so much more! My most recent interests are cryptocurrencies and the block chain; these are the reasons I came to peakd and I hope I can contribute to that space as well.

Here's a preview of the kinds of photos you might find in my space:

Blue-Spotted Salamander 🦎

And here's an obligatory cat photo - meet Frida! 🐱

Thanks for dropping by my short intro post. I hope to provide some real content in the future related to gardening, permaculture, crypto, and gaming!

Cheers,
ceerip

Hello @ceerip! This is @traciyork from the @ocd (Original Content Decentralized) curation team. We noticed you shared your first post here on Hive - congratulations and welcome! I hear you about the social media platforms - I've gone through a bunch myself (been a WordPress blogger for eons), and I am now super bullish on Hive. I hope you find it as awesome as I do. :)

It would also be awesome if you could do a little bit more of an introduction post, so our community can get to know you better. For an example of what an intro post is like, you can check out this one by my friend & curation team member -

Keeping Up With the Buzz - My Introduction to the Hive Community.

Speaking of community, we have many different ones here on the blockchain, devoted to all kinds of interests. Here's a link so you can check them all out - Hive Communities. I'm guessing, based on what you wrote, that you'd like these to start off with -

HiveGarden

Hive Pets Community (bet they'll love Frida)

Hive Gaming Community

Also, as Hive can sometimes be quite confusing, the newly launched Newbies Guide should be helpful to you, as it is a growing repository of useful and easy to understand posts about how the Hive ecosystem works.

Please be aware that Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog, so it is important not to include content that you don't own without sources (and it shouldn't exceed 50% of the post). For more information, check this post - Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise by hivewatchers.

Since you're new, you may run into an RC (Resource Credits) error when trying to comment/post because you don't yet have enough Hive in your account yet. For assistance with a temporary delegation to get you started, be sure to check out the Gift Giver site.

For now, @lovesniper will follow your account and we are looking forward to seeing your expanded intro post. Also, please mention (also known as tagging) @traciyork & @lovesniper in your intro post in order for us to be notified, so we can consider your post for OCD curation. Lastly, feel free to hop into the OCD Discord server if you have any questions!
