RE: "Dear Dawne" is Going Live Today! - Get A "Pro" To Check Out Your Blog (the line starts forming..3..2..1..NOW)
Please check out my post https://steemit.com/steemit/@deliberator/be-careful-what-you-wish-for thank you :-)
Morning! Ok... the first thing I notice on this post is the formatting.
I would recommend checking out this link- there are SO many out there though, but I have used this one myself early on.
https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitguide/markdown-and-html-code-guide-for-beginners-that-includes-5-useful-tips-to-edit-posts-and-comments-using-the-raw-editor
It shows you how to set up titles, sub-titles, bold/italicized/etc words, centering pics/images, etc. VERY useful!
I know my first week or two on steemit was ALL about learning. Formatting... centering images, making my posts aesthetically friendly and easy on the eyes for the reader.
One other point- keep your posts clean. Insert links into the formatting. See this link on how to do that. The more professional you can make your post, the more people will enjoy reading and you up the chance of them stopping by again.
Example- Just as I did to this link, versus the one above; which looks better?
Superb thank you, will take a look now.
You're welcome!
I forgot to say good morning back, my bad, so good evening now, I have downloaded Typora, and so far it looks excellent, so I hope this is the game changer for me, thank you.
You're welcome and if you're on Discord chat and need anything, you can always find me there too.
And have a great evening! lol
Great to have you here @goldendawne. As a heads up, @davemccoy is having internet and bandwith issues his end so if he's in and out today on Steemit that's the cause. Thank you so much for partnering with our initiative. Steem on.
Yes, he just messaged me on Discord. The bandwidth thing can really become a nuisance some days.
Agreed. Well, I'm at the helm so anything you may need then don't hesitate to shout. If you find any newcomers who could use a boost also let me know. I'm greeting newcomers in the introduce yourself tags at the moment, but will be checking my replies frequently. Thank you again. Your involvement and support means a great deal to all of us.
You're very welcome!
I do the same thing in meeting and greeting incoming members that are homesteaders and gardeners, so I can understand the time involved. Especially when trying to grow a community and support system.
I believe you were one of the first to greet me when I joined. I think my first foraging journal was voted on and commented on by you as well. It's support like you give that I wanted to pay forward and pattern my Steemit habits on when I started this initiative with @davemccoy. In short, you are awesome and I'm absolutely blown away that you have agreed to help us.
Probably was me! Anything gardening related I am on it fast!
lol- I am all about helping people. I remember what the first month on here was like for me. VERY intimidating
Lol. Me to. And yes, my first efforts on Steemit were dreadful. I didn't fully understand how to blog as I had never used social media. I've never agreed with the invasive policies of large providers and always put a great deal of stock in face to face interaction at a community level. But Steemit is a special place that I really hope will continue to grow. So my thoughts were if I started throwing myself at that I could help people and be a part of that growth. I did notice you were always on my wild mushroom and wild food write ups back in the autumn. I like you am a massive outdoor/homesteading/gardening enthusiast. I especially love mycology and have devoted a great deal of time teaching people in my local community about wild mushroom foraging. When I lived at the other end of the country I ran wild food foraging groups where I'd take young offenders from our local youth center and we would do trash clean up's while learning about wild fungi and local wild life. It helped them clear their community service hours and taught them a skill they otherwise wouldn't have learned. Once we get this initiative to help new comers up and running at top speed I will go back to writing the odd wild food write up and if you ever do a post on the topic then please shout me. Homesteading is one of my favorite spots on Steemit. :)
ahh the dreaded 'bandwidth' message:) Poor Dave, it must be killing him! I just wanted to say @mudcat36 and @goldendawne, you guys are doing an amazing job with this initiative, as is @davemccoy! I've been helping newcomers along the way too, but will sure pass them on if there's things I cannot answer! Cheers!
The bandwidth issue does go away as you progress on steemit- luckily.
But if anyone has issues with that and you need to speak with me- join Discord and find me on there. I'm on Discord from 5am until 4pm EST
