Was about to recommend this as well. I use it to post my tables by copy-pasting from Excel.
Thanks for the suggestion jlordc, I'll see if I find the time to add it to the article !
This is kind if information every Steemit beginners require, and you are doing great supporting minnows here. I know I wasted a lot of time googling on how to make table and other basic steemit blog posting tricks.
Thanks lawlees !
The idea of thes articles is to have a ready to go answer for new SBC members that join and need some basic guidance on Steemit. This is way more efficient than having to explain it 1 on 1 over and over again.
Great tutorial, @costanza! Easy to follow. I've always enjoyed the cleanliness of your posts, and never able to replicate them. lol
Thanks Braveboat !
I also always enjoy post that are easy on the eye to digest which wy I try to do it myself.
It usually takes a bit of time once to learn something or make a template that can afterwards be used over and over again. I might do a step by step guide on how to very quickly make custom copyright free thumbnails some of these days.
