Also something really helpful are the different tags you can put around images and text. This has been covered in other posts, but searching for them is not the easiest way to find content.
Some of the important tags are as follows (this will be familiar to those who use html, but easy to use for those who don't)
There are multiple ways to format your text. I'll use the raw html feature (click editor in submit a story, type a letter and then click raw html)
The following tags are helpful
all tags use the <tagname'> text or image url </tagname'> format (without 'S)
<h1'> tags is the makes a title text larger and can be followed by h2 etc all the way down to h6
I'm an H1
<center'> tags can beused to center tex or pictures and used along with other tags
I'm a center H4
<blockquote'> text </blockquote'>
This is a quote
And the little // designs in the square at the bottom right of a textbox (comment or posts, lets you click and drag to make the textbox larger).
There's more, but for the new people flocking to see @dollarvigilante post, hopefully this is helpful (and to html coders this should already make sense) I'm @bendjmiller222 on steemit chat if I can help anyone else more :)
Thanks again for the tips @dollarvigilante. I listen to your podcasts as soon as they come out!
Great tips!
But it would be great if Steemit made some more userfreindly WYSIWYG editor tools. After all - its a blog where we share our thoughts or talents - and should be able to do so without having to remember html code :-)
