Designed through Canva

First of all we all know that in every community there are guides on how to successful operate and rules to keep things in order (this are called the do's and don't) and we also know that of any member of that community is ignorant of this things, he will unsuccessful while in his stay in that community and so through the help of the smile discord meeting I will be glad to tell us more on the we are expected of as a hivean and what we are not expected to do, so let's get it..

The Do's 👍

Engagement

The first thing that should be a priority to any newbie is to engage himself so as to build up himself as he relates with other, post often, and comment on others post.

I realized that this is often time the secret in building up oneself to a mega level and this is the key to been successful on hive, it builds one up in the sense that as the newbie engage more, he learn from others thereby building up himself and it also helps in building up ones hive power and reputation.

Engagement also improves ones purpularity because as the newbie frequently chat with others and consistently publish educative articles on active communities, other hivean will eventually fall in love with his articles and personality, so one essential factor that is expected of every newbie is good engagement.

Sourcing

Pleagarism is one of the serous don't, Ann in order to avoid such as a newbie, it important to source every write up from the internet and to use photos from free sites like #pexel.

In the case of photos, it is also advised to source the photo even though it's from a free site so as to avoid any complications.

Quality Articles

In the case of making quality and beautiful articles, their are ingredients or should I say features we can apply to beautify oiur article, these are;

Thumbnail
Title
Markdown
Grama

This are the four basic features that beautify our post and if firmly understood, it adds quality to our posts.

Usage Of The Right Tags

Tags are very important in every post and as newbies we are expected to learn how to use tags and the right tags for each posts.

It's very important as it makes it easier for the post to be supported and currated.

What we should avoid 🤬🏃

Pleagarism

Pleagarism means using someone's article without sourcing it or claiming someone's article.One of the greatest offense I have noticed in the hive community is pleagarism, it's very important to acknowledge the benefits of being a content creator and the hive blogchain gives us the opportunity to become good content creators.

Begging for vote

This brings about a bad impression on others mind and it kind of ruin one's reputation. On my own opinion the reason someone will engage in such is because he may things he is not capable of bringing the required results which is not true, the problem such people have is their mindset, if it can be corrected then the can achieve whatever results they want.

My Canva Thumbnail

First of all I want to commend Hive account@ksam for the beautiful tutorials he gave us on how to use Canva and with the help of his tutorials I was able to understand more on Canva and making good thumbnails.

The first step I took was to visualize what I actually needed to design and relate it to the reason for designing it.

At this point i had already chosen the thumbnail

The next step I took was to chose the fitting pre-design so as to build from there
After the necessary editing, I downloaded it to my phone.

Now the thumbnail is ready for use

Thanks for reading my pist, see you next time.
