Blog of the Month - New Theme for 13 June 2022

BoM_-_June_Recycling.jpg

Before I tell you about this month's #BoM, I have to get a couple of things off my chest!

2022 has been full of ups and downs, as my little world was turned upside down from the very first day of the year, but Hive eventually became my secret hideaway from the real world, as blogging helps me focus and clears my head!

A big bow to my team Silver Flower, Silver Cat, Silver Fish, and Silver Scot for taking over the reins each time I went MIA here in Silver Bloggers.

What goes down, must come up!

Last month's 1st Birthday Celebration #BoM only brought in 5 entries but they were all amazing!

This was a huge drop in comparison to the previous months; perhaps everyone was still in shock at the Crypto Crash, but always remember...

Patience pays...

Especially as far as Crypto goes; so sit tight, keep on blogging, and I do believe Silver Flower was right when she said -

This is not financial advice, but I think this is a time, if one can, to use some of that HBD to buy Hive...

If you missed last month's winning post, you can read all about it here.
Don't just leave it at that, though, go and read some of the other posts. If you would still like to support the authors, and because they're past their payout dates, please leave a tip.
(The web versions of both @peakd and @ecency offer this facility.)

Silver Bloggers' Growth

Our community continues to grow. As we prepare this post, we are now sitting at 1235 subscribers, with 109 active.

With this month's power-up we have tipped over the 2k HP mark. A major milestone. Every little bit makes our votes worth more as we support the members of our community.

We would not have been able to do it without you!

All members' delegations help with account Mana and enable us to give increasingly meaningful upvotes. The total delegations have dropped to just over 7,5k Hive. That's ok, because as we always say: every little helps and we do understand that folk have other things to do with their Hive power.
As we do by delegating 500 HP to @ocdb, which not only helps grow our kitty but also is a way of thanking them for their tremendous support - a win-win situation all around!

Thank you to @monica-ene who is our newest delegator. Another

As a reminder -

If you would like to delegate to our community account @hive-106316, there's a nifty table at the end of the post, to help you do that. Alternatively, you can delegate directly from your wallet.

Also -

There are two more ways to offer support -

  • Set @hive-106316 as a 5% beneficiary when you post in the community - every little bit helps.
  • Please follow our community curation trail - another way to support the community and its members. You can sign up for that on Hive.Vote.

This month's topic - Recycling

I am sure there are many of our wise Silver Bloggers who recycle. Let us know how long you've been doing it for, and how you go about it. We would also like to know how you turn some of the waste into something useful - whether for composting, storage, artwork, or whatever weird and wonderful stuff that not only make that waste bin lighter, but also helps save our planet!
