Hey there fellow Steemians

I hope you've all had a wonderful day!

I know Mondays can be a drag but I hope this post lifts your spirits

I'm quite new here so don't expect too much! These are the few things I've learnt so far to make my Steemit posts a little more pleasing to the eye 👀

1. Use Markdown

Ok so this is basically a way to style text online where you can control the display of the posts. There are many ways to do this such as creating headings, using bold and italics, adding links, centering anything etc.

To centre
Use this: <center>To centre</center>

To have this header size

Use this: #### To have this header size

To have this header size

Use this:### To have this header size

To have this header size

Use this:## To have this header size

• To create a bullet point
  Use this: - To create a bullet point

bold
Use this: **bold**

italic
Use this: *italic*

strikethrough
Use this: ~~strikethrough~~

blockquotes

Use this: >blockquotes

To link

Use this: [To link](https://steemit.com/@lm888)

---

^To divide
Use this: ___ or this --- or this ***

2. Vignettes/Dividers

These are really easy to add. All you have to do is copy and paste the link! I need to thank @scrooger for posting some really beautiful ones here:

3. Use GIFs

This is understandably not for everyone but I like to use GIFs to brighten up some of my posts. The easiest way to do this is to choose whatever GIF you like then copy and paste the link of it onto your post. I use this website to look for GIFs: https://giphy.com/

So first you go to the website:

Then you type in anyting you have in mind and press enter

Select your favourite GIF and click copy link

Copy the GIF link not the short link

Paste the link here and it will come out like this!

of course you could center it too...

4. Use Emojis

Like I said before, this might not be for everyone but I feel like all these added things makes a difference to a post. This one is super easy. It's basically just copying and pasting. I like to use this website: https://emojipedia.org/ -- all you have to do is look for an emoji you'd like to use then copy and paste it 😀

5. Youtube Videos

This might or might not be useful to some people. All you have to do is go on Youtube then copy and paste whatever video link/url you want. The whole video will turn up in your post.

Here's some Queen for all you lovely people out there!

❤️Thanks for reading everyone! Have a beautiful day! ❤️
