Hello Indigo,
The first mistake I made on HIVE is that I followed the accounts that followed me. Many of the accounts that follow new users are spammers. So, only follow people who actually interact with you.
Hive can be a really frustrating place for new members. The site was built around a block chain and a crypto currency called HIVE. The site hiveblocks.com shows your activity on the blockchain:

You don't have any HIVE POWER in your account! That means you don't have resources to write posts or upvote.
I will get back to you on my other computer.
