NEW! Getting Started with HIVE video tutorial - Lesson 1

The following video is for folks completely new to blogging on a blockchain. This is the first video within a multi-lesson video tutorial that will hopefully make your first experience of social media on a decentralized blockchain a happy one.

This first video covers:

• Creating an account (I recommend using Hive Onboard)
• Setting up your profile for success
• Initiating rewarding relationships
• Joining communities

If this first lesson proves useful to the community I plan to create 3 more covering topics like content creation on the platform, earning rewards, managing one's wallet, and using important tools.

Please provide your feedback in the comments below.

Also, if you do create a new account, please post your profile below and I'll delegate you some HP to get you started with more resource credits available to you (something you'll better understand after the wallet lesson).

If you're in the USA and want to get some crypto so you can use that method for instant startup on your laptop/desktop, the easiest way is probably to use Cash App from Square on your phone to buy your first Bitcoin straight from your checking account or credit card linked to that. It's a free app anyone can download. Not sure if it works outside the US.

If you learn best by reading, here is a useful post that covers some of the material in writing.
Spanish speakers/readers see this Spanish training post.
(I'm also getting a Spanish transcript for this video created, so stay tuned Spanish-as-first-language community!)
