RE: My first day/ night at Steemit
My pleasure. I look for quality posts and do my best to support them.
Here are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
- Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
- Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
- Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
Hope this helps too. Cheers.
Do you buy chance know any good resources on formatting blogs on steemit? I still have a ton to learn :)
First of all, after you click "POST," you will see a "Title" box and a large box which says "Write your story ..."
At the TOP-RIGHT of that large typing box, you will see either "Editor" or "Markdown."
If you want to edit or format your text, click on “Editor,” and the Editorial icons will appear. (If you want to use those editorial functions, you must click on "Editor" before you type any of your text. Because as soon as you insert even one letter, the "Editor" option disappears.)
After clicking on "Editor," input all your text and format it to your satisfaction. (There is a "preview" screen below the typing box.)
If you want to insert images or links. ... After you have inserted and formatted all your text, then go to the "Raw HTML" at the TOP-RIGHT of the large typing box (where it had previously said "Editor" or "Markdown"). Click on "Raw HTML, and then you can insert all the images (by copy and paste, or drag and drop) and any links.
Also, here are a few links that might help for certain tasks.

Hope this helps you get started. I'm very tech-phobic, but I learned the above over my first month or so. I'm still learning too.
Cheers
Steem didn't tell me that i had recieved a reply, but i really wanted to thank you! I only saw it just now, so i have already published my new blog. I've written about more about the Scoby. It still isn't perfectly stylized, but this will definitely help in the future :)
