I was a little intimidated at first to post anything becasue it was not as simple as uploading a pic and a cover photo and keep it moving. I tried using my flickr account and wasn't successful. I thought about Photobucketbecause I used to use that site too. Photobucket has wayyyyy too many ads! Finally, my daughter told me to just use Tiny Pic and I won't even have to create a log in. Yesss! It worked. If you want to know more about me then just give me a follow.
Also, if you want to put links in the content of your article and hide the html you just have to find an html editor you are comfortable with. Any blogging site should do. Since I use wordpress for my website I just created a new post and copied and pasted the html from the backend. Steemit shows you a preview when you are typing so you can see what everything looks like in real time before you publish an article. I plan on posting with some pics and videos at a later date so hopeully my same reasoning will apply. At any rate, I am excited about this platform. It expands the matrix playing field and I am looking forward to expanding and being a novice on this new level.
