Community post
Hi, hope you're doing well
I'm not really used to this platform so I might not be posting here a lot, and I'm sorry for that, but if you are interested, my name is Tylor van Rensburg, I am 17 years old and I love video games, technology, art/ animation and music (specifically guitar). I've been interested in games and technology since I was about 2 years old, art and animation for about 3 years, and guitar for about a year. Planning on one day being able to make my own music/ covers for songs and working in something related to tech, maybe IT. I hope that if I ever do post here, it'll be something that you're interested in or puts a smile on your face. Thanks to @aimeludick for reminding me that I can post here😅, and actually giving me the confidence to start saying something and put myself out there. Also thanks to @zakludick for introducing me to the platform in the first place.Thanks for your time and I hope you have an amazing day further, keep safe :).

Hey, yeah I'll definitely be posting some of my attempts to play some songs on here, though I don't have any original pieces of my own sadly. Maybe in the future though
Welcome to HIVE you are here !!!!
Its interesting and great that you put your story into a blog and left it here on the blockchain, so welcome, welcome to the Hive movement and blockchain. Your first blog is up and on the chain, hope you feel relieved, and not afraid of what is coming your way in the comments. Hope this will be just the same addiction I have with Hive. Just joking Ofcourse!
We know it can be daunting and frightening because all is new.
If you want to read some history this is a blog https://peakd.com/hive-198524/@hivepeople/hive-for-noobs-hive-198524 about it.
But for now the new beginning, you will have fun blogging and vlogging I promise. But in the beginning it’s hard and all is new and maybe you need help. We have amazing people here and a help discord if you need it. I love blogging, and was a newcomer once aswell so i know the feeling. The biggest and best advice is always be carefull with all your passwords, Never give those up !! I speak from experience !
What always is a big help to your account is to try to build and expand it. Be a daily blogger. The best way is to comment / respond on other hivers and their posts, there are so many topics here, you will definitely find a place for your thoughts and brainwaves.
I use @Peakd to post to Hive but Ecency is also a possibility. It’s a website, mobile and desktop application that improves your experience on Hive. If you are interested for Android download : https://android.ecency.com, for iOS: https://ios.ecency.com, for desktop: https://desktop.ecency.com apps that helps you to connect, and that’s what we do here !
You can also earn to promote and boost your content. Again If you are interested https://ecency.com just some extra information in this early start of your journey here! Last hive.blog is an option too. They work well and let me know if you have difficulty.
There are a lot of communities to blog in, besides your own account. Topics can be anything in life and outside the box. Go to the main page of your account and see which one you like and you want to subcribe to. It’s in the drop down menu under COMMUNITIES
Good luck with with hive experience and I Will See you around and may you find here what you are looking for. Just remember that all good things come in good time and never giving up is THE key to the big succes on the Blockchain.
