How To Make Headers or Subheaders

Headers/Subheaders are very significant aspects to consider when producing an article because they display the structure of your content and direct the reader's interest.

Insert the symbol # at the beginning of the Header follow by space, then write your headline or subheading.

Also the more # you add the lesser the size of the Header

# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3
#### Header 4
##### Header 5

How to Quote a Text or sentence

To Avoid any form of Plaigiraism, you need to properly quote the borrowed text or sentence.

For instance I want to quote one of the most popular proverb.

The result

Two wrongs don't make right

How To Source or Cite a link (Image or Reference)

---

For instance, I downloaded an image on Google, since I'm not the owner of the image I need to properly cite the source.

https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme6HJDCmPLRBpYgmhkE9DKKBTjfj1nGamdPB3XogsR9Vx/images%20(22).png

You can see the image link doesn't look neat, to make it neat just apply this markdown below

[Image Source Name](Image Link)
