Wrapping my head around

I have been here long enough to notice them and to know they exist, but I never found the time or felt the need to delve into what they really are.

so now, that I find myself more and more engaged and committed, I make the time to become a better Hiver myself, in part, so I can better help others.

today was one of those days where one thing lead to another and one post lead me down the rabbit hole.
Curation trails were without a doubt where I had to go figure today.

I was lead to @bradleyarrow and found not only what seems like a good source for other things, but also a good post explaining in detail, what curation trails actually are and how to follow them.

I found this (updated) post to be helpful and following it, managed to register for Hive.vote, find, follow and configure the settings for my trails of choice.
Thank you for that @bradleyarrow 🙏

Another good source, with 3 different posts discussing curation trails is @nattybongo

Thank you @nattybongo 🙏

bottom line, using those sources for orientation, I managed to wrap my head around the concept, then register, search, choose and follow several curation trails, some of which, I was already familiar with (as in the case of @plantpoweronhive for example).
also, I have configured my desired settings for each one of the followed trails.
now, I will be observing the results and draw my conclusions and maybe go back to fine-tune those settings if necessary.

Another interesting thing I learned today as an extra is The BBH project by @bradleyarrow which has a power up day once a month on the 20th. of each month. (today!!)
more to dive into, more to learn.

It has been a big day, between curation trails and my Bamboo plants, and I feel tired but satisfied for learning something new on the long way to becoming a better Hiver.

wishing us all a peaceful Thursday.
thank you for stopping by 🙏
