Creating Posts
To create a post, click on the "Post" link in the upper right corner.

Posts have three main parts: Title, Content, Tags.

You will want to make your title attention grabbing, and relevant to your content. The first image that you use will be the thumbnail image.

Tags will help people find your posts. Each post can have up to five tags, separated by spaces. The tags should all be relevant to the content in the post. You can browse content by tags, as well as see a list of popular tags that other users have used in their posts here.

There are several guides for creating posts in the "Helpful Posts from Steemit Users" section below.
