Hello Hivers!
It was a wonderful experience at the Uyo Hive workshop yesterday. That was actually my first time attending the workshop and I must confess, it was worth every bit of it.

Locating the venue wasn't difficult as I was given detailed direction but due to traffic I arrived 15 minutes late, my bad, next time I'll leave earlier.

Our host @ijelady welcomed me and other newbies and kindly did a quick recap on what was discussed on the early minutes of the workshop. 
She explained what Hive is all about, in her words " Hive is a decentralized Blockchain platform and cryptocurrency that focuses on social networking and content creation, powered by a community-driven ecosystem..." Hive as a web 3 platform allows you express yourself how and when you want to, while earning as you progress.

She taught on how to insert image source appropriately with few steps:
1. Open a square bracket [ type "source" and close the bracket ]
2. Open a round bracket ( paste the image link and close)

She went on to share some strategies to earn on Hive: 
1. Show up daily. 
2: Engage with other people by reading their post comprehensively and drop meaningful comment.
3: Participating on contest, etc.

@Chydolar1 admonished us to be original with our post and consistent. She said "focus on growing and contributing positively more than the money, Hive is not a get-rich-quick scheme"

It was awesome meeting with other Hivers. Looking forward to the next workshop, the next learning experience. Bye for now.
