Steemit beginners tutorial #2 - Website structure and search tricks

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

1. Introduction

Now that we have created our account as in part 1 of the tutorial series, we now come to the structure of the steemit.com website.
The design is quite simple if I think about Facebook for example. Of course, the functions are still quite manageable. But the site is still in beta status because we are participating in a relatively young project.


2. Steemit Main Page

I've divided the main page into 5 color-coded areas which you can see at the following screenshot.
ColorRegion
GreenFeed navigation
BlueSearchfield from Google
YellowThe Feed (The feed area is concealed by my explanations in the image)
OrangeThe tags (keywords)
RedOwn profile

3. User profile

  • 3.1 Feed: We have already met the feed main page.
  • 3.2 Blog: The blog is a listing of your own posts.
  • 3.3 Comments: An overview of your self-written comments.
  • 3.4 Replies: Replies (comments) from other users to your posts and comments.
  • 3.5 Wallet: $$$ Revenue management. Also, here are the keys which we will discuss in one of the next tutorials. The password can be changed here too.
  • 3.6 Toggle Night Mode: Switch between light and dark mode of the website. I generally recommend the eye-friendly dark mode, which I also use here in the tutorials.
  • 3.7 Change Password: Change your password. Same function as described in point 5 in the wallet.
  • 3.8 Settings: Profile settings such as e.g. Profile picture, place of residence and other personal information.

I think everything here is pretty self-explanatory except for the wallet. To understand the wallet we will look at it in tutorial #4.

4. Google search tricks

The operators have to be placed directly in front of the following search term without a blank space!

OperatorFunction
+The following search term must be included in the found pages
-The following search term must not be included in the found pages
"exact phrase"The phrase searched in quotation marks must be included in the same order on the found pages
*The asterisk replaces a missing word
intitle:The following search term must be included in the title of the found pages
site:The following URL will be searched for a search string separated by a space
