Did you know that you can style your posts with Markdown? I can tell that many people already know that... but I can also tell that many people do not know that :p
First - what is Markdown ? From Wikipedia:
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name. Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor.
When you're making a post on steemit.com, there are quite a few things you can do to change the way your posts look.

Headers
# H1
## H2
### H3
#### H4
###### H5
will look like:
H1
H2
H3
H4
H5
Alternatively, you can use an underline or dash:
H1
==
H2

Styling
Styling text is also pretty easy in markdown:
bold = **bold**
italics = _italics_
both = **_both_**
Normally you can do strikethrough with ~~foobar~~ but Steemit doesn't support that.
