Hello everyone! @PeakD is my favorite interface/tool for #Hive if you are not using PeakD.com you are missing a lot of great features. @asgarth, @jarvie and the rest of the team are always updating it and adding more tools and functionalities to the site. Today I want to share some tips that you may or may not know about PeakD.com.
So here we go!

Communities and Blog Posts Setup
The first thing that I want to share is communities. Not only in PeakD.com you can post in communities but without a doubt it is the best place to browse them and it has many accessible ways to subscribe and to easily choose in which communities we want to share pour content, for example this post is written in the PeakD Community (hive-163399).
It is great to be able to post in communities, it has a lot of advantages, one is that you may find support from curators of the community, foro example I have had support form @OCD and @OCDB by posting original content on their community and also on communities like Hive Gaming and in the case my wife (@grisvisa) she has found support from them (and the art) in the @OnChainArt Community led by @midlet. Thank you to all the great community leaders that make efforts to incentivize their users.
There is a small disadvantage when posting in a community. Your posts go to @eddiespino/posts the second tab on your profile instead than in the main page (https://peakd.com/@eddiespino/). This can be a little frustrating because if someone visits your blog he/she may find a two months post instead of your newest ones.
Shout out to @elsan.artes whose blog serves as an example for this point. Click on the images to see them with more detail.
How can we solve this?
To solve this little issue what you must do is go to the "All Posts" tab and then go to the post that you want to add on your blog. Click the three dots and then select "Add to blog". You may get a notification form GinaBot telling you that you have reblogged your own post.
Hope this tip is useful for you. Let's go to the next one!

More useful posting tips:
Other useful things that you can do are: Saving Templates, Save Drafts and Clone Published Posts to use them as the base for a new post. You can also SCHEDULE posts.
Now you can add a description to your posts, this will serve as preview below the thumbnail instead of the first sentences of your posts.
On the "ADVANCE" section you will find many options:
You can change the author, this is useful for communities and projects.
Change the rewards settings.
Choose beneficiaries for your posts.
Change the countdown timer, I'm really not sure of how this option works, if you know please let me know in the comments.
Change the cover image. I've tried this option, but the safest way is to just let the cover image be the first image of the post.
Wallet and Tipping:
PeakD.com recently updated the wallet and now it looks better and has more functionalities. Here is a look to my wallet:
On this part of the wallet we can now see with more detail the delegations, before we only saw the number, now we can see the person we are delegating to and who is delegating HP to us.
On the Hive Engine part of the wallet we can now see our tokens, the balance and the total value. Not sure if they are planning this, but it would be cool that we could be able to stake tokens from here. Below we can also see all the activity regarding tokens.
On others we can find our SBI Units and the useless SNAX tokens.
On games we have a link to our @Splinterlands collection in the @PeakMonsters site and also our collection of cards on @exode a new space game. Today I opened my three starter packs. I may make a post about that game.
And as you may already know we can now send tips to our favorite authors, this tips can be snet in HIVE o or HBD.
PeakD.com Dashboard, Services, Market and Nodes.
The last thing I want to share in this post is the PeakD.com Tools Dashboard. I discovered this feature back in SteemPeak but it seems that it has become better in Hive. Let's take a look at some of the features.
How to access it:
You will see something like this:
Of course there is also the Witness and Proposal section, but those are more known and I don't want to overwhelm you guys with information.
