Learning to Be “Me” in my Blog Writing
Sometimes it’s hard to find the ways of the Jedi.
I’m kidding... I mean, to not just write from my head and be real in my blog here on Steemit.
So I began looking around for ways to improve on my style and the work I want to produce.
This past weekend, my husband @beardo and I spent some time with a couple of my Steemian friends... @beatitudes8 family, @dwells and @essentialoilmom ... and @papa-pepper and the whole Pepper clan were there too. We all had a fantastic weekend talking about Steemit and people we have met through the block chain.
I left the weekend feeling like I need to learn more and do more to better myself... because it is something I enjoy! It gives me a bigger sense of purpose in the “accomplishment category”.
What next?
I had no idea really. Even after all the encouragement.
So I decided to just look through and try to figure it out on my own.
But something amazing came across my iPhone screen that would stop me in my tracks!!
A #dolphinschool !!!!!!!!!
What?!??
Yes!!!
I could get help learning the ropes and get tips along the way to make this drowning process a little more bearable!
Because, quite frankly... I don’t want to drown! I want to succeed.
Successful folks listen to advice and that’s just what I’m going to do!!
Guess what?
I’ve already learned something and it’s only day one!! Oh!! Hey.. you can join us too!
@markrmorrisjr has invited you to come join the fun... so whatya waiting for??

What did I learn already?
See that triple line bar at the far right corner?
There is a magical unicorn in there. Seriously.

Okay.. it’s a list of links and one of them goes to
The Steemit App Center.
When you check this out, you’ll find the following:
•Apps for goods and services via the Steem dollar
•Apps for telegrams
•Apps for widgets
•Apps for all things Steemit
Honestly though, the Upvoters app is what is too cool for this school!
When you click on the tab for the Steemit App Center, it will show different apps each time. So, just type in “UpVoters” into the search bar.
You can input your ID into the name bar and watch the magic happen !! You can literally see who is supporting you on your Steem journey!! How cool is that?!
During my search for learning more about Steemit, I came across a blog that TOTALLY inspired me!!
Check out this blog with the wonderful advice that just “hit home” with me:

Thank you @hanggggbeeee for the great advice!!
While I’m learning to trust more of myself to just be me and write with my personality, I hope to learn a lot more through #dolphinschool.
Will you join me on my journey?
Love it, what a wonderful thing to worship with other steemers! That must be cool. Great post, nice photos from your life, solid writing and a really genuine feel. NEVER stop trying to be just you, just learn to be a better, more effective you!
Now for the critique, as with many of the dolphinschools posts, I think the downside is the formatting. Markdown is a learning curve. But, whitespace is easy. If you'd leave a little more space between images, I could appreciate them more. Also, between text and images. It creates more energy and gives the mind time to change gears. Also, learn to make hyperlinks, or try markdownpad2, or do your steem blogging on busy.org, both have link building tools that make it really easy. Long links look messy. Great job, i love your heart in this and I'm glad you found me. There are no coincidences in His universe. Thanks!
No coincidences... !!
It’s definitely a stretch to create all the things needed solely on this iPhone.... but you won’t see me quit .. I like a challenge 😂 obviously. Thank you for the feed back and I’ll utilize it to the best of my current ability. We are working towards getting a computer to make it easier. (At least a laptop). I am heading over to the sites you suggested for making blogging easier 🙌🏼
@jeejee
If you can log onto busy.org, that would be your absolute best bet. Otherwise, you're copying and pasting between apps, whereas Busy is part of the steem blockchain. You'll have to set up a steem connect account. It's perfectly safe, use your active posting key, not your master password. Markdownpad would definitely not work well on a phone and doesn't work with Mac anyway.
I tried the markdownpad and my phone flipped me off.... I will try again with busy.org
Funny enough is my husband is a programmer..I’m the younger less computer savvy member here lol . I’ll sweet talk him into helping me out this evening.
Hyperlinks are pretty easy @jeejee. I'm not sure what your dolphin school sensei suggests but I like to hyperlink to a word. So for example when you said
If it was me I would have hyper linked the word blog. How you do that is put the word blog inside of [ and ] and then follow it with the link inside parentheses.
So in your writing it would look like this

But when you publish it should come out like this

Will definitely join you (already have), it's great to share what you feel irrespective, someone somewhere will get you. Wishing you all the best in finding a place to settle and build with your family, but i bet staying in an RV is cool :)
SteemOn!
@cmbugua
I’m not so sure the word “cool” describes it quite completely.... it’s challenging and definitely makes you expand your skills in the “Grace” category!! Heheh
