Thank you for this! It has been massively helpful to me. For instance, I never realized there was an 'editor' button (or at least had no idea what it was for and have ignored it) but it will be an easy way to make my text more interesting, for sure. I also never realized that voting on something older than 7 days was a waste.
I am not really able to post daily, but I am making an effort to be more diligent, this was helpful in giving me the best practices for when I am able to post.
looking forward to future lessons and resteeming this!

I'm really glad that people who have been here for a while are taking the time to read through this guide. It's even better that you learned something!
Glad you found out about the editor button! Markdown can be tricky, but that button helps make it easier to format. I do suggest looking into markdown a bit more if you really want to master formatting. I actually did another blog a while back about how to polish your posts, so perhaps you can pick up a few more formatting tips and tricks from that guide.
I do plan to come back and discuss formatting in a future installment, so I hope you'll stick around for the rest of this series.
It's also great that you found out about the 7 days threshold. It's kind of silly that Steemit still shows the vote button even after a post can no longer be rewarded. This is a criticism that many people have. Some people wish that rewards could be for the life of the post instead of just seven days, but for now, it's what we've got!
Posting daily is a challenge for many of us. I tried to do it with this series, but life keeps getting in the way. The main reason you want to post daily is so that you can increase your reputation. If your followers and audience have posts of yours to vote on every day, not only will you see a reward increase, but you'll also see your reputation increase steadily.
I really appreciate your feedback! Thank you!
