For those that don't know (and why would you)... I ... like so many others... have a podcast. I honestly have been wanting one for a long time and had originally planned on doing one when Steem came out. Sadly, Steem was not always socially motivated. I am not tech-savvy. Bad combo.

Not Here to Bag on Steem, I Swear!
My point in saying that above though, is to put the context in what I was doing when I found myself by accident. I don't use the same name that I did once upon a time. Rather, I use my name, well the name I have gone by forever online. Even RumDancer is tied to it.
RumDancer, like on here is my name... or was my name. I don't know, I used it for a long ass time, but it is a name I chose a long time ago, like in my 20s. I have read tarot as RumDancer Tarot. Over time it got cut down to just RumDancer. It is a silly enough falso representative name, but I like it nonetheless.
That being said, I didn't make my podcast the same name.
Mage Against the Machine
That is the name of the podcast... and for the sake of a cheap plug, here is the link.
www.mageatm.com or on anchor @ www.anchor.fm/mageatm
Feel free to check it out! <3 I could use more listeners! We talk about occultism, pagan stuff, magick, knowledge (the acquiring of and the seamless loss of over and over again through the course of human history), and a lot of other stuff.
I digress.
Searching for RumDancer on the Internet
I was looking up, myself... under the name of "RumDancer". So, first, I put in the term with social media. I got weird results. So, I took off the other terms I had and just put, "RumDancer", on its own, just to see what came out in a search. The second post that pops up... out of my social media accounts, years of using it reading tarot and like on forums and stuff, or even my art and such that is also under the same name.
RumDancer is a Hard Find
If I were going to be using this name a bunch or something, I would work on the content and SEO. As it is, I am not... at least not for what I am working on (project-wise). I have my hands full with the podcast and then revamping and relaunching my own business. That being said, I do still have a few accounts for RumDancer and that is my name on a lot of my art and stuff. It doesn't make sense to change it now.
The pages I have set up are under that name simply because I used to use it. For example, I still have a Deviant Art page and a Facebook page for art. I am not a professional artist or anything, but I am making progress. In any case, no, none of these came up.
No, instead an old (like 3 yr ago) post from here - which back then would have been posting on Steemit, I thought. I honestly don't even know. The name of the post? Ahhh, embarrassing... here I will just show it.
The screen shot is above. Great, first is Facebook. But second, here we are... Hive Blog. I will say, I don't post on here rarely ever... but I am shocked that it comes up first. There are a few of them on there before it goes to someone else ... also named RumDancer on a different steemian something. I won't lie, I don't get how the world works anymore. Hahaha!
Still a Felon in Idaho
It is not embarrassing so much that I went to jail. I think, ultimately, it was bound to happen... living in Idaho. It struct me odd is all... out of all of the posts, that is the one that comes up. I wouldn't take the post down, even if I could. Going to jail was a vital lesson. I learned a lot about myself ... and the other poor miserable bastards that have gone to jail... especially in this state.
I have a lot of posts, many which are more read / reviewed than that post. I find it funny that is the first one that came up.
I can't help but wonder why.... I am going to take it as a sign that I was supposed to update over here and say hello.
So, I guess, I am going to do at least that.
It was nice to stop in and see the Hive page. I always did like it here. I just... yeah, I never had much luck with blogging on here or Steem. Nothing personal. I don't care about the money, I care about the feedback.
