Informative post. I've only made 2 blog posts so far on Steemit and have written another 10 or so which I'll post up when they're ready.
I like the way your post is structured, using horizontal rules, images and titles to clearly identify different points.
One thing i'm not sure about is whether to lead with an image or start with text.
