RE: Please Use GitHub, Not the Comments

in #gamedev7 years ago

Github is great for any type of storage, especially true for our blog posts!

A blogger shouldn't learn the hard way that starting a draft offline and then saving it somewhere is the best way to go before hitting that publishing button. Both of the markdown editors I use have the feature of syncing, as well as pushing and pulling from GitHub, so I have a repo where all my Published and yet unpublished works of fiction go :p

It's a life saver though, especially if you want to cross-post at a later time, or edit down the line.. Plus saving your drafts ensures you won't lose unfinished work. (Even though I use SteemPeak which has the drafts feature, I don't paste my draft there until I've already proof-read. I don't paste it into SteemPeak until I'm ready to add the final touches and preview formatting)

Well, I went a little off course there.. But another advantage of Github is that along with syncing the posts published to STEEM, you can also turn pages on for the repo, and set up a Jakell or Hugo self-hosted blog if you like.. or just theme it out for your own use.. Makes organising and searching through an archive of your old posts efficient.
