Introduction

Steem is the platform. Hede is a decentralized app running on the Steem block-chain. Our currency is the Steem dollars. This currency is not only used on HEDE. There exist also some other apps running on the Steem block-chain who use the Steem dollars (SBD) as well. Whenever I write on the HEDE platform, this definition lingers in my head. Then, I look forward to the hopes of the future.
Once upon a time not too long ago, there existed a scheme for making money known to all and sundry as the MMM. It came as a whirlwind. Making some wealthy and sent some to their early graves without uttering a word. Recently, I was introducing some friends to the Steem block-chain. I had confronts with some arguing that Steem would crash one day and they would lose what they worked for.

I made it clear to them by giving a very precise and genuine explanation. I did this by asking them if they paid any sum of money to work on Steem or for registration. I let them know that they signed up for free and paid no dime. Also, I explained that the Steem block-chain is not a money making machine. You are not told you will get your money doubled by inviting friends.

On the D-Tube platform, you upload quality and informational videos and get rewards. Then, those in search of the videos go there and get them and the cycle revolves. On Musing, you answer or ask questions. Then, those in need of such answers and who have similar questions can benefit too.

On the Actifit platform is more fun as you exercise daily and get rewarded for keeping yourself fit. That is quite a double blessing as you get fit and also get rewards. The same goes for the wonderful HEDE platform where you make entries on genuine info. Again, those who are in search of them can as well go there and view them.

As the user or contributor, you get your rewards for making useful contributions. You again receive rewards and at the moment, this platform has catered for a lot of unemployed. Hence, I would go straight to the last class of themes which I tag as the 4th class themes from my own perspective.

The 4th class themes

Everyone learns every day except those who do not wish to learn. Every site develops every day except those that the developers has abandoned. The contributors on the HEDE platform develops the site by a certain percentage . Hence, the theme under this class are educative themes. They are to help life generally so anyone writing under them, must have real information.

GEOGRAPHY:
When one makes an entry under this theme, it should it should go in line with what the name depicts. It stands for the general environment of different regions in different nations. Now, it is not only restricted to earth alone but also other planets and the world at large.

This is because students might be on the net in search of information on an assignment they had in class. The entries cataloged under this theme could provide them with their answers. Explanations on the topography of the lands in different areas make a good entry. Also, a certain mountain, hill, stream, sea, ocean and even forests could also be inclusive in the entry.

Information on the sun, moon, stars, galaxies and the planets would make good entries as well. Now, I am not speaking of a copy and paste program where you plagiarize someone’s article. These entries should be hand written by you. They should also be clear and concise so as not to confuse the reader more. Also two or more entries under a particular topic is acceptable as well.

LITERATURE:
Literature is an aspect of every written or unwritten poetry, novel, story or play. As for how it is on some sites where they post novels and download links like the Amazon. So can one do here on HEDE under this theme. Now, you can put the image of the front cover in your entry. Also, a short note describing the novel and also a download link if available.

For poetry, you can write out the different stanzas and include the image if available and a short note on the poet too. Poems are not as long as novels so it is easy to write the full poem. This theme would also go a long way in helping students, children, and parents. Every other person who is in search of that kind of information can benefit too. This is the reason I call this set of themes educative.

PEOPLE:
If you don’t know people, their likes or dislikes, behaviors, and attitudes. Then you can’t be able to relate with such people. For this reason, this theme is set to educate people on different peoples. It talks on their traditions and beliefs, food, culture and dressing. Also, their likes and dislikes and their contributions to the world at large.

I recall once when I was making a search on Germans. I was able to find out for the first time that they are the best and largest beer producers in the world. Also can such detailed information be inclusive here on HEDE too. This would enlighten people on their neighbours and those they don’t know.

Someone to wish to travel to a part of the world and decide to make some findings first on the people. Now, if such information is here on HEDE, it would of course come out among the results in the Google search engine. Also, with more detailed information and frequent viewing of the platform, so does it climb to the top.

POLITICS: Politics is the vital and crucial part of a nation or government. Without leaders, a nation can’t function and without rules, a nation can’t stand. All these are contents of politics. Now, you might wish to make a post under this theme and would be wondering what you should write in your entry.

Don’t think too far or rack your brain much, a full and detailed explanation would is here in this article. Under this theme, the information should exclude the daily news about the politicians. whether one had insulted the other or not. It shouldn’t base on how the President lives his/ her daily life. No!

The kind of information that can be inclusive under politics include quite description. First, it could give histories on how a government came to be, like details of the current affairs. Also, it would list the names of federal states, capitals and other important info on them.

Under this entry, one can include also these. List of important offices in different countries and those holding such positions. Note that when giving entries on these political roles, updates are necessary. The reason for this is because of the government which isn't static but changes from time to time.

PROGRAMMING:
In this class of themes, I had to keep this as the last man standing because it is the bedrock of how this platform run. Also, websites generally can't do without programming. It is a very important chapter in science and technology. Without programming, android phones, websites and some other modern vehicles can’t function. We have a lot of talented programmers here and some who are still aiming to signing up.

Information on different programming guidelines and techniques are great entries under this theme. One may have a little problem with his/ her smartphone and may not know how to go about it. The answer could be right here lying in wait. For our users on this platform, if making an entry under this theme. It would be wonderful if you pay strict attention not to omit a code, word, letter or step. An error in programming could cause the whole program to fail or not function at all.

Conclusion

Done with the discussion on our HEDE themes. Now, I am settled that every user and contributor that reads this would write right. And also save some stress if they understand these series and absorb the examples. I would also urge our moderators once more to support the users and encourage their efforts. Like @didic and some others who after admonishing, give ideas and links. They help to learn and correct yourself, so should every of our moderator handle the users. More chapters on this great platform is still on its way.

Sort:  

As I've reviewed several posts in this series, I want to take a bit of time to focus on a particular issue: Self editing, and specifically self editing for relevance.

There are many cases where I tell people about the importance of an introduction. Introductions are useful in bringing readers in, and giving context. But when it's the fifth post in a series where the posts have all been published quite recently, the only thing I'd really want to see in an introduction is links to those posts, as there's nothing new to introduce here.

What I would rather not read is nearly 400 words about what Steem is and how it isn't a scam like MMM (which was a company, not a scheme. The scheme they used was a Ponzi scheme). There may be posts where that's relevant, but it is not relevant to the fifth in a series of posts about one dApp running on Steem.

When writing a post, self editing is critical. And one of the main questions you should be asking yourself is: Is this part needed? If it isn't necessary, there needs to be a really solid reason not to cut it out.
