Can we just talk about the pretty pictures? That is an awesome shot you wrote all over!

But no, really, I was thinking about how poorly the Steemit post writing interface is designed just last night ... and thinking I've not seen anyone writing about it from this exact point of view. So. Well done.

There's one little quirk, If IF IF you are still writing and haven't submitted, down in the fine print is a little phrase that claims you can drag and drop or copy from the clipboard. I've not had success with that part. BUT it also claims you can "select photos". That does work! And as I recall it works even if you lose the link to the editor.

Also, if you go into edit the post after publishing, there's another 100 pitfalls.

The biggest one is if you edit with the Editor it will strip the <center> tags out of the html.

If you forget to add a photo to the post, you pretty much have to be able to write the code by hand to refer to an image that is hosted outside of Steemit. This has it's own set of tricky hurdles. The main hurdle is that the link to the image source has to end in .jpg or .png ... definitely not an option with google photos (as far as i can discern.)

I should intro the tools I use to write with. As you can well imagine, I've been able to make it convoluted ... but generally, I'm finding it fail-safe and versatile. It could also be an excuse to purchase some screencapture video equipment!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one feeling like the interface is trying to gas-light me.

Your post should help quite a few people.
