Thank you so much. I'm using peakd I guess? lol I didn't know I was also posting to hive blog when I post to peakd. :O or maybe I misunderstood you somewhere in there lol

That's more or less how it works. Essentially when you post or comment from PeakD, Ecency, Hive.blog or any other front-end you're not posting to those websites per se, you're using them to post to a blockchain. You can look at a post from any or all of them because they all derive the information from that one place: the Hive blockchain.
They're user interfaces, shells or skins, so to speak. That's why I keep calling them front-ends. The back end is the blockchain
That's the general gist of how it works
The error you received was probably because you run out of Resource Credits. RCs are an abuse-prevention measure to protect the chain from being spammed into oblivion by bots
Each time you post, comment, upvote, follow someone or do anything else here (transact with the blockchain) it uses a small amount of your Resource Credits. You start with 100% when you create your account
It's like your HP in an RPG. Or maybe MP is more apt. Each time you cast one of these "spells," your MP is depleted. Different spells use different amounts
Resource Credits recharge at a rate of about 20% per day on their own

(Hiveblocks is another tool built to extract and display information from the Hive Blockchain on a webpage)
I'll delegate some HP to you to get you back up and going again. Hang on a moment...
Oh wow thank you for explaining! I had no idea and was so confused. And a very easy to follow explanation as well. I guess I gotta make sure what I have to say is important when I'm on here. lol Thank you!
Okay, there you go!
Before and after I delegated HP to you:
What I just did was delegate some of my powered-up HIVE to you. Now you get to benefit from the resulting upgrade to your total RCs. It will also increase the value of your upvote a little bit
The same thing happens when you power up your own HIVE
This brings us back to your original question: how to do just that
I mostly use the Ecency app on my smartphone for Hive these days, but I'll show you how to power up with PeakD, since you said that's what you know
Just a moment
Okay, just having a look through the process now. It's going to take a few separate steps for you. You don't have any HIVE to power up at the moment, but that will change as you claim rewards from your posts
You set up your account through Splinterlands, yes?
If you're using PeakD, you must have already got your private keys from them.
You'll need to add your active key to your Hivesigner or Keychain account to power up HIVE through PeakD
I can transfer you a couple of HIVE so you can try it for yourself once that's done
Let me know how you go 😀
Also,
Mystic Quest!
That was one of the first games I ever played. So good
Love the soundtrack to this day
The nostalgia! 😁
Oops lol. I think I gave it back to you by voting for your explanation comment. It was just so good and easy to understand I had to upvote it. or I'm wrong and I have no idea what I'm doing which is also a possibility. But I think I found how to do it, if I ever get some more hive. :) Thank you so much for your patience and explanations.
Heh heh heh, no you didn't give it back. Only the delegating account can undelegate. What you 'give' when you vote is a part of the Rewards Pool, proportional to the value of your vote, which depends on how much HIVE you have powered up
You can see the total of the rewards pool on Hiveblocks.com
If you ever have any other questions, feel free to ask. You might already know about this, but you can tag accounts in posts and comments using '@'
As in: @lv99-rd-chocobo
If you do that for my account, I'll get a notification. Then I can get back to you and help out
Don't be a stranger! 😉
Happy Hiving!
