On my regular account, Hive account@swelker101, I made the announcement the other night that I have closed down my witness under that name and completed the upgrade to HF20.2 to the account Hive account@steemcreative.

You may be asking yourself why I did this, and I have the answers for you right here.

1. I easily have the worst "normal" username on the platform
2. Hive account@isaria has joined in an official capacity
3. Cats

#2 is probably the main point to focus on. You see, Hive account@isaria does so much stuff for users on the platform. Let's take a look at some of our projects and initiatives.

Steem Creative Curation Show

• Be sure to join us every Sunday on Msp-waves for our weekly shenanigans as we sing horribly for no reason, randomly yell at each other, conduct the airing of grievances, talk about cats, and promote posts by talented, creative Steemians!

Steemit Musicians

• Immediately following the Steem Creative Curation Show, we slide right into Steemit Musicians. This is the show where we play as many of the top-5 picks from the most recent opne-mic contest. We are sometimes joined by Hive account@krystle, who also seems to love yelling at Shane. We also love giving away 30 Steem split amung the top 3 vote getters from the show!

Minnow University

• Shane and Isaria are joined by Hive account@aggroed on Staurday nights at msp-waves, as we talk about random happenings with the intent of discussing how great the Steem blockchain is and how to increase your account. We also use this opportunity to curate posts using the Hive account@msp-curation account. Come on in, join the fun and sometimes wacky discussion, and bring a post for curation!

The Peace Academy

• The conversation continues as we join Hive account@aggroed for The Peace Academy. You never know what the conversation will turn into on this one, but we have fun, and you will as well.

Hive account@msp-music

• Hive account@isaria runs this account which she uses to curate musicians and people that delegate to Hive account@msp-music!

Projects that we support by being members or delegations!

• Helpie
• The Alliance
• Minnow Support Project
• Hive account@msp-waves
• Steemit Ramble

Other happenings

• Did you know that we donate 25 Steem each week to the #openmic contest? Well, we do. We would love to increase this as our witness grows!
• Hive account@isaria is entrenched in the Hive account@steemmonsters team. She writes music for the game! Very cool!
• Shane (Hive account@swelker101) is the longest running Moderator at Hive account@minnowsupport's Discord. He's been there since day one and up until the launch of Hive account@steemcreative ran a witness for over a year.

Future Plans and endeavors

• We are working on opening our own Discord soon (Yes another one!) where we will be having weekly contests designed to reward participants and increase enagement on the platform.
• We are in the early stages of creating a dapp for the Steem blockchain (Information will be released in due time)
• Shane is currently teaching himself coding to learn as much as possible and create tools for the chain

Now for the Hard Sell!
