Dear Dawne "Special Edition" - Formatting
Season 1 - Episode 11
We Have An Experienced "Steemit Personal Mentor" To Help You Directly!
(Also Newbie Nickels Added Again This Week!)
General Topic: Formatting
Formatting Could Be Preventing You From Earning GREAT UPvotes
So often in my steemit travels I will come across a fabulous post. Quality content. Original work. But... I have to pass it by in my curating posts.
But why you may be asking. I just said it was quality writing and there was no obvious and tested copy/paste or plagiarism concerns. But I will still bypass it and move on.
How can that be? The formatting is the reason.
Images
Look at these two images below...
EXAMPLE 1
Aren't these just wonderful looking floating shelves! I would love to have them in my home. I could display so many pictures and cute objects.
EXAMPLE 2
Aren't these just wonderful looking floating shelves! I would love to have them in my home. I could display so many pictures and cute objects.
Do you see how Example 2 is centered? It makes the post appear more streamline and eye-appealing.
This post about formatting images is so important. Please take a moment to read it over and experiment with the examples of how to make your image centered with text above and below, move the image to the left or right with text next to your photo. Keeping structure to your post is crucial.
Three times in the last week, I had to bypass GREAT posts to send off to curie and muxxybot because of formatting and images issues.
Formatting
Keep these links handy when you are writing a post.
Basic Mark Down Info
Text Divider Links
Just like this-
AGAIN- make sure to center the divider.
These are just a few examples of where you can find dividers on steemit to use in your posts.
Text Dividers 1
Text Dividers 2
Text Dividers 3
Bonus Discord Info
The other day I discussed the importance of joining Discord and communities and I wanted to share a link with about 50 popular and different Discord groups.
It An Open Forum So Ask "Dawne" Anything!
Newbie Nickels (Available to EVERYONE for TODAY ONLY, Newbies only after that)
Anyone can play. Anyone can join. You don't have to be a newbie, to win this Newbie Nickel.
First, a Newbie Nickel is something that we at the #newbieresteemday initiative use to incentivize the newbies to play games or enter contests. Its a $0.05 upvote on their entry in the game/contest and it guarantees them something for making an effort. For some newbies this $0.05 is more than they can make on many posts, so it is indeed a way to earn "something" and to learn/engage at the same time.
