If you are new to Hive because of my introduction, you definitely want to read this excellent
resource by @livinguktaiwan.
In it, he outlined 12 suggestions derived from his research done on other Hive users. It is definitely a gem.
The take-home message is really to become an interested and involved personality on this community that interacts with others genuinely. You will learn heaps from the community and benefit from it organically.
Simple things like reading, commenting and replying comments go a long way.
The road ahead need not be lonely.
