Thank you VERY VERY MUCH for your feedback and for a warm welcome in the community! ❣️
Personally I also don't like to deal with copyright issues since I know how annoying this could be, so in general I only use copyright-free content (CC-0, no attribution required) from sources like Pixabay, Pexels or Unsplash, and occasionally I also attach some of our own pics or a good quality custom AI generated images (if necessary within the context). But if this would make your work easier, I will start adding some backlinks and mentions of the original sources/authors within the image captions, so that it's always clear where they come from.
I also have one question - if I may - in regards to the 'post formatting' rules and standards on the hive blogging platforms here. I'm not sure if you'd be able to help me out with this, but this is my 'maiden voyage' here and surely you have much more experience on this platform than I do. I have noticed that when I apply some custom formatting within the post, like for example some convenient spacing between different sections/parts of the post, then this spacing gets removed from the post after a while - hence I'm really confused whether this is done by some automatic post moderation systems or whether it's done manually by the moderators to make the post's code cleaner...
The thing is, I have a little OCD when it comes to making my articles look good and read good, so - at least for my taste - keeping the different sections of the post seperated from each other by a small space makes the whole thing much more organized and easier to comprehend than just a one huge 'wall of text' with everything compressed as much as possible. I've noticed that a similar thing happens when publishing articles on Medium, so maybe this is just some unavoidable and standarized practice these days. I wonder if I'm perhaps the only one that really considers this a 'bad thing' for reading experience.
In any case, thank you once again and have a great time!
Mike
