How do I work New Hive into my workflow?

• Plan ahead: Have copy, images and multimedia ready.

• Set goals and realistic expectations:– What do you want to accomplish?– How much time do you have to do that?

• Save often• Lay out your expression on paper as you would a page

in print.• At the beginning, keep it simple.• Use horizontal or vertical layouts if you want to tell a

story.• Use the embed tool and post on your site, but link to

the main expression for the full-screen experience.• Seriously, save often.• Have fun.
