Attempts Failed... Very Quickly

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a nice entry to the New Year.

Regarding Hive, I started 2025 with two simple ideas in mind:

  • First, to do a simple and quick post everyday for the entire year. (For that I was using my alt account to post Actifit Reports.)

  • Second, to enter the HiveBuzz's PowerUp Initiative and see if I could keep it going for a while.

Well, I failed the PowerUp thingy just after 10 days. So that was gone.

... and yesterday I thought I had posted my Actifit Report... only I didn't. For some reason the post didn't go through. Arrrrghhhh.

Only after 13 days into the new year and both ideas already went down the drain. 🤦 Looks like the only way to achieve these tasks for a full year is to write a bot to do them for me. But I won't do that, as that would be cheating myself.

What about you? Any yearly objectives in Hive at which you are still succeeding? 🤣

I'll leave you with a photo taken during my last travel in Estonia.

After visiting a waterfall, I had to get back to Tallinn by bus. Using public transport in Europe is always an easy and comfortable way of moving around. It's one of those things North Americans won't comprehend until they try... over there, public transportation is worse than in the poorest countries of Africa. 😂

For some reason, my last posts are previewed like this. I have no idea why. I haven't change the format of my posts at all... Can anyone help? 🤷

Do you use saved drafts to make the post? sometimes the one that got posted as the thumbnail are the photos or gif on the saved draft. that is why the preview of the post is like that, assuming it is the gif format that you have as the footer that is considers as the thumbnail for the two most recent post of your.
I had mine like that as well.

Regarding your goal, well you are not alone. I failed my yearly author goal on the third day of the new year. but lets move on and continue with the journey. : )

Yes, but the draft I used was working ok. I cleared the text, changed the photo... and it become broken only after posting. In the drafts page it looks fine.

While in editor remember to go into 'advanced' and set the image thumbnail you wish to have appear.

I'm trying to get back but I always find other things to spend my time with! And when I realise, it's time to go to bed. 😆

For this year, my aim is not to post every day (I'm incapable of that) but to improve my posts 🤞
Yes, public transport isn't great in North America. Trains are generally slower than cars 😤
Have a great day
