ACTIFIT [April 17 2019] A DAY OF TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES #AutomaticWin

Good evening everybody!

Here I am once again!

Today was a bit frustrating but I managed to maintain my composure and tweak my way through some tricky stuff.

Yesterday’s #EveryStepCounts post ended up not working out as planned... I have spent the last month designing the projects update graphics that I plan to post up onto the Steem Blockchain every Tuesday... only problem was... the files didn’t seem to want to upload properly the way I had originally envisioned. Very disappointing to say the least!

The images and gifs I had designed would upload (using SteemIt) but instead of displaying as they normally would (in the past) only an unattractive boring link to the photo or gif was on display.

I ended up working late into the night trying multiple ways to force the files to upload correctly (This is why I missed posting my #Seven77 Push-Up video yesterday although I still did take the time to shoot it both yesterday and today!).

I tried using Busy which worked but the photos were paired down and were both grainy and to small to make out easily like I had designed them to be. I tried making the files smaller and uploading them back on to SteemIt in a vain attempt to get the post to display the #EveryStepCounts graphics and Annimation. That didn’t work...

That’s when I moved over to the @Actifit site to edit the post and guess what!!! All of the photos and gif animations displayed! I’m still trying to figure out why! I guess I’m going to have to ask @mcfarhat if he has any ideas as to why it worked to upload my graphics and animations to the Steem Blockchain using @Actfit... another strange thing to note here is that the post displays more or less as it should when viewed using www.actifit.io but when I look at the exact same post via SteemIt the photos and gifs show up as those ugly underlying links rather than photos and working animations!

I’m baffled! But I don’t give up easily! I managed to get things working somewhat satisfactory... but not without putting in the time and effort! It was tricky and tough all rolled into one let me tell you!

Do any of you out there have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Here’s the link to yesterday’s #EveryStepCounts post:

If you could check it out from a couple different platforms and get back to me with your ideas, thoughts, insights, and opinions that would be very thoughtful! Thank you!

My only working theory that I have left to try is to shrink down the graphics size (and subsequent data footprint) one at a time to see if they upload differently.

I hope that I figure this out soon! 😣 You would think that this would be both simple and easy to do... but I guess not! It feels like I have been wrestling with the Steem Blockchain all last night and today... so yeah! Any help with this would very much be appreciated!

I wish all of this wouldn’t take so much time and effort! The computer is a wonderful tool... but it’s sure is finicky sometimes! The problem is always that time in front of the computer isn’t time spent living a healthy lifestyle... Im sure you all know and appreciate the dilemma...

So yeah! That was my day yesterday and today!

Thank you for reading you all 📖!
