My First Step on Hive: Introducing Myself

I know you've been reading some articles about users here joining Hive as well. I found myself messaging ate @kneelyrac about Hive since it's been on my list since January but I haven't had the time to create an account and learn about its ways fully. The signs for me to create an account and start my journey there were too loud so I seized the opportunity to join already since I still have a month of rest left (school break).

I joined the Hive PH Community on discord, thanks to the article of ate @Jane I was able to join the part 2 of their onboarding webinar. I was busy when the part one was ongoing.

It's quite complicated if you don't have any experience yet. I believe every beginning is difficult. The first step I need to do is to introduce myself. My first thought, 'Ohh, like Appics!' because I only have noisecash, readcash, and appics so I can only compare it to them. In appics, we also need to have our introduction but not as detailed compared to Hive. I also introduced myself here on readcash as my first article but then again, I find it different on Hive.

On Hive, I felt the need to somehow reveal my face, unlike here, on noisecash, and on appics. I've been anonymous in my other blogging accounts but on Hive, I'll treat it as my all-in-one diary, although I won't be posting rants there, it's more on my life's happenings and shenanigans. For me, Hive is a stricter version of readcash and more aesthetic that's why I'm currently loving it there. I like challenging myself so posting high quality blogs on Hive definitely is a challenge for me.

I made sure that my intro is somehow good enough for others to get to know me. It took me days before I finally posted it. I joined Hive last July 7, 2022 but I only posted my intro yesterday. I was having a hard time picking pictures and how am I going to introduce myself. While I was editing my intro post, I was reminded me of my Tumblr days, where I used codes to make my blog aesthetically pleasing. Ahh those days!

Finally, I decided to reveal my face, but not fully yet though. I used pictures that are not that recognizable as I still value my privacy. Here's the cover picture of my introduction post:

I've been using Cthings as my username on my other socials and I thought why not use Cthings as well on Hive. I didn't use Cguro or itsmeCguro because the name only focuses on me being a teacher and the things I want to share on Hive are not limited on just me being a teacher. I want to share there a lot of things that fascinates me.

I find it hard to reconnect with the people who know me as Cguro, itsmeCguro, and Csaw from appics because I'm a different user on Hive but I know it's part of the process of building my own brand there. It's not easy and smooth sailing but I know it will be worth it.

So, for those who know me, I'm Cthings on Hive. Let's connect there as well. Here's my introduction post there.
