Hi steemians, as part of my responsibility to know the work of the steem ecosystem, I’ve dedicated some time to learn the applications of the various markdowns to be used in the steem editor as my achievement 4.
The various markdowns are very essential in creating blog posts, as it makes it possible to add some useful features such as images, links, videos, quote and many others in one’s post. Below are some of the mark downs.

Making Headings
Headings form an important role in making a good blog post or a presentation, it helps those viewers to get to know the important aspect and the main issues an author of the post is writing about.
To add a heading, bring a hashtag/s(£) and a space before the text, the number of hashtags determine the rank of the heading, the size of the heading decrease as the number of hashtags(#) increases, below is a demonstration:
