The complete beginners guide to formatting on Steemit
Hello Steemians,
I have been learning about how to format posts here on Steemit so thought I would share what I have learned with you all
Headers
To create headers in your post you simply need to use the tag <h1>YOUR HEADER HERE</h1>. There are 6 header sizes avaiable, with h1 being the biggest, and h6 being the smallest. See the examples below
Header 1
Header 2
Header 3
Header 4
Header 5
Header 6
Bold, Italics and Blockquotes
To make a text bold enter the following <b>BOLD TEXT<b/> and you will get the following BOLD TEXT.
To make text italics enter the following <i>Italic Text<i/> and you will get the following Italic Text
To make a blockquote enter the following <blockqoute>'TV talent shows make everyone sound like fucking Christina Aguilera' - Dave Grohl</blockquote>, and you will get the following:
'TV talent shows make everyong sound like fucking Christina Aguilera' - Dave Grohl
Aligning text and images
Aligning text
You can align the text and images of your post on Steemit with the following code:
To align your text to the right:
<div class="pull-right">
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
</div>
To align your text to the left
<div class="pull-left">
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
You will get the following output:
Aligning images
You can do the same with images by entering the following code:
<div class="pull-right">
IMAGE SOURCE HERE
</div>
Text here: KFC, formerly know as Kentucky Fried Chicken is an American fast food restaraunt
You will get the following output:
Breaks in text
To have a gap between text use the <br> code
For example
text
<br>
<br>
text
Will become:
text
text
Adding and captioning images and videos
To add images you can either paste them from the clipboard, drag and drop them here or select them from your device. To add videos from sources such as Youtube, all you need to do is copy and paste the embed code and the video will appear here.
To add a caption to your video or image you need to enter the following <center>YOUR CAPTION HERE</center>, below the image source, and you will get the following:
Creating hyperlinks
Creating hyperlinks is simple in Steemit. To provide a link to my #musicdiscovery 2SBD giveaway I would enter the following:
[Click here to enter my #musicdiscovery 2SBD giveaway] followed by your link in ()
Which would give the following output:
Click here to enter my #musicdiscovery 2SDB giveaway
There are plenty more ways you can further format your blog, which I am going to start looking into and share with you all once I become confident with them.
Thanks for reading, and I hope this has been helpful!
