Blog of the month - May winners

BoM - May winners.png

The world seems to have gone a bit crazy. The war in the Ukraine, that I suspect we all hoped would be a mad and short lived Putin punch, seems to have no clear path to peace. Then the floods in South Africa that affected a number of our Silver Bloggers and now, the crypto crash.

I'm a glass half full (of wine girl), so I tend to hang around and believe that things must get better. I also believe that what goes down, generally also goes up. For those of us who have been around a while, Hive's forerunner hit the high notes about 5 years ago, and then plummeted to hit an ATH in November 2022. We hung around and waited out the lows. I suspect we'll do the same this time. This is not financial advice, but I think this is a time, if one can, to use some of those HBD to buy Hive...

Housekeeping

As always, some housekeeping. Firstly, a welcome and a thanks in advance to Silver Scot who has joined our moderating team. Silverfish is AFK on family business at the moment, so another head and pair of hands is a great asset.

Our community is still growing and has nearly 1,200 members. The number of active users has dropped which may be a function of the drop in Hive's value. Which brings me to our delegators: thank you to those who continue to delegate and who have increased their delegations in the last while - we still have 8,000 HP in delegations. So, to all of you, another big:

Blog of the Month - April edition

This time round, after two bumper months, we only had five eligible entries. Each special in its own way. More than that, though, we were touched by how important the Silver Bloggers' Community is to you all. I think I speak for the entire team in saying that it is you, our members who make it special.

This month, three of the team, including new kid on the block, Silver Scot shared their different celebrations with us:

Please pop over and read their contributions?

Special mentions

We have one very special mention this month. Of our community, she says that that she was relieved to find a space where she

would be listened to by people who know everything you go through when reaches a certain age...

We are so glad, Silver Love. Read her full post here.

Runners up

For the first time in a while, the team was unanimous about the runners up. No discussion required.

After a very stormy and hard month, we were all taken with Silver Streak's celebration of life, itself.

And the outright winner is...

As I mentioned, the team was unanimous in choosing this month's winner.

Happy 40th, Katie!

It seems entirely appropriate that Silver Beet chose to share the multiple celebrations associated with that milestone birthday which officially makes her a Silver Blogger - with not a single silver hair on her head!

The prizes

This week's prize pot is a whopping 40 Hive and which will be distributed among three winners:
