Happy Hive Power Up Day!

So, here we are. Another new month and another Power Up Day.

When I gave advanced warning that I would be powering up today, I also said that if I reached my milestone 2,000 HP, I would offer two delegations.

Milestone achieved

I was delighted that even before today, and when I claimed my rewards, a couple of days ago, I reached that goal. It's been a loong time coming. Nearly nine months, actually, and happened around Halloween time...

So When I powered up today, it was with the HP I'd been stashing from all the rewards over a couple of weeks. Here's how it went down:

For those who wonder why it's not much: it's because I generally post only once a week because I've got other stuff going on. I'm not as active here as I'd like to be...c'est la vie...

Keeping promises

A couple of days ago, I said that if I had reached 2,000HP by

... 1 July, after I've powered up, I will delegate 50HP for three weeks to a qualifying redfish from @theterminal and nominated by either @traciyork or @brittandjosie. I will do the same for someone in the @pifc Discord and nominated by either @thedarkhorse or @viking-ventures. These will be recurring delegations each month, and to mark my third anniversary on the blockchain...

So, I am delighted to be able to keep that promise and I am sure that the lucky recipient will hear about it in @traciyork's follow up posts. In discussion with Lori (@viking-ventrues), w have agreed that this delegation will wait for their official launch on Hive. Details to follow in due course.

Until next time, be well

    • re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I plan to add them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a ko-fi?
    • and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts because of this.

Congrats on reaching your goal! Hey, how easy is it to set up a wordpress blog to use with Steempress? Everything that I have seen so far requires me to pay for a monthly subscription to have Wordpress host my blog and create my domain.

What does it cost you? I'm really keen to set it up by I doubt my Hive earnings would cover the cost of the monthly expense.

I discovered that, too, but for various reasons decided to go with a self-hosted site. In other words, I bought a domain and found a web host who installed the WordPress platform. I use my site for more than blogging. Truthfully, if I worked Hive better, I'd be able to more than cover my costs. I know @traciyork did work it out a while ago - perhaps when the dust has settled with this month's #hivePUD, she could drop a link here.

Other than "dedicated" hive posts, like today, all my posts are via @steempress - that way I reach a wider audience and also earn a little crypto.

Good luck with your deicison.

And thank you for the congratulations - much appreciated.

Yes Fiona!! Congratulations on making it to 2000 HP! I know you've worked so hard to get there and now you've made it on HivePUD day! Double celebrations!

Next milestone?

YAY! Never doubted you'd make it, Fiona - however, I did doubt for a bit that I'd ever be able to comment...thank, Mercury Retrograde for making the nodes cranky today, of all days! As you know (I think I mentioned it on Discord in between complaining about not being able to access the site today), I really appreciate your support and your awesome shout out. Here's to 3K being only a short time away (and then the moon shortly thereafter)! 🤗

Truth be told, nor did I, otherwise I'd not have made such a bold and public promise... I have working hard at ignoring Mercury, but today? Urgh! Glad to have had some sane distractions, myself. Big catch-up today ahead of my first kitchen day and market in more than 100 days. Quite a thing...
