RE: Things Every Steemian Should Know -- Add a comment and resteem
I find steem and steemit to be full of hidden features.
No where is it written what HTML, CSS and markdown features are supposed to work.
And, what is stored, and where, would leave many to wonder.
Everything is stored as markdown, on the blockchain. Markdown is a very used format in which things are written. Articles (comments and everything) are loaded up as a json and these transactions are stored in blocks. The rest is history of the blockchain that I won't talk about here. And Steemit, just as Busy and many others, are just views that are smart enough to know how to interpret these jsons and to present them in a readable way. There is a lot to learn if you really want to get to know deeper these things, I don't know them well even for myself, but if you have the will to learn and understand them, I am sure you will succeed!
Do you think that steem will ever introduce a json.meta data for storing which image to use as the thumbnail?
I hope so, but this kind of changes can be hard to implement for backward compatibility like what thumbnail should old posts have and things like that. Also it is hard to make this change when it is not only Steemit to change its UI to match the new aspect.
Well the post is supposed to be about sharing information, not hording it, so do tell.
I feel like i know nothing.
Anyway, it looks like you article is ... an addition? to another article, and i haven't gone searching for that, so i know the parameters.
I don't know what you mean. This is article is not connected to any other, nor is it an addition to, or in response to, any other article that I'm aware of.
That explains why i couldn't find them! From your intro, and then the jump to meat of your post was a bit abrupt, and so, i felt there might be another piece out there. I will see what i can do to write some of the things that i know, that don't seem to be widely related. But, i swear i learned them all by reading posts on steemit.
Yes, I noticed that whilst reading it back but neglected to change it. I will amend it now. Also, I think anyone could find out everything they need through reading this post then that one, at a natural rate. But, at the same time, I feel there are things that I wish someone had notified me of long before I happened across the info.
