After seeing this I went back and read your introduction post - its really great to see you sticking at this despite the difficulties and the lack of response you're receiving..
I understand your difficulties/frustrations in having to search images, but rather then leaving them blank how about we make you a standard signature image to put at the end of your posts :)
This way every post has a nice clean thumbnail image, and you can save the code to notepad so you can copy paste it in easily each time and now it will be formatted nicely.
I'm really not the creative type, so my contribution is really plain but its a start - if you like the idea perhaps one of our budding artists can take it further ?
Here is the image I made in GIMP for you just now, its a very plain and simple Steem logo with the text "nextgen622" below it in the same dark blue as the logo.
And here is the code that makes it appear, this is what you would save somewhere for later copy pasting into your posts:
<center><a href="https://steemit.com/@nextgen622"><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/06/nextgen6225f0f3.png"></a></center>
I hope this helps! Now you dont need to worry about images anymore, and you're not put at a disadvantage over sighted users in terms of post aesthetics :)
You have a new follower, please dont get discouraged :)
Here is an alternative version, with the universal low-vision symbol of an eye crossed out below your name
And the code to use it:
<center><a href="https://steemit.com/@nextgen622"><img src="https://www.steemimg.com/images/2016/09/06/nextgen6224d5ea.png"></a></center>Best of luck with whatever you choose to do :)
Wow thank you so much @ausbitbank for doing this. That is so kind of you.
No problems at all , it was quick and easy - but I'm no artist so we could probably do better !
If you like the idea or have something specific in mind that you would like to use as a signature image let us know and I'm sure we can help out somehow :)
