How to write my first STEEMIT Post ? INTRODUCEYOURSELF !
1. What Do I write about ?
Lets face it, this is a platform with real people. So like any networking or social event, its best to introduce yourself first.
-- Plan out what you want to say,
-- Get ready a nice photo of yourself, preferably with you holding a piece of paper saying "STEEMIT" with the DATE on it and your USERNAME .
or you can do something like this 😎
more dramatic .. the better i guess. haha .. be original
Lets Begin
2. What title do I write ?
You can go something as simple as "Hi .. I am Ali from the village of Menggatal" or even
"My First Post ... I am Bubbles" . Just a short title would do fine.
3. How do I upload pictures in the content ?
OMG WHERE IS THE UPLOAD BUTTON ????
Steemit does not have an upload button. You would need to rely on 3rd party for now. So do this. Make sure the picture you want to upload is on your computer.
Then goto http://postimg.org and do the following
once you have copied the link from the column **DIRECT LINK**,
you can then paste it in the **CONTENT AREA**
your picture will now show at the preview section of your screen.
just need to scroll down.
4. Now continue writing your content.
Just write your story, however here are a few tips to make it slightly more readable.
If you type # Hello world (with one # in front ) it would look like
Hello World
If you type ## Hello world (with two ## in front) it would look like
Hello World
If you type *hello world* you get italics
hello world
If you type **hello world** you get bold effect
hello world
5. Don't forget to use the correct TAGs
Once you have finished typing out your first blog content. You are almost ready to submit. However you need to fill up the most bottom are which says
Tag (up to 5 tags) the first tag is your main category
I would suggest that the first 3 tag to be
introduceyourself steemit teammalaysia
other tags you could use life blog photography story
a tag is to categorise your blog. so that people who likes photography for instance will tag their post "photography"
CLICK SUBMIT

You can just upload images directly, or even drag n drop into your post these days mate. Love the gif man, I wish I had a drone!
Dropping the image directly sometimes gets it all messed up. So better explaining the conventional way. But thanks for the update @overthewait
wonderfully done.
what about imgur to upload images?
That works .. but I kinda like postimg.org cuz for me it's faster then the rest and less adverts
Nice work friend, keep up the good work :)
