Best Tool For Writing Your Post

---

Typora, by far has the best tool that I've seen for writing your blog in "markup" language. You can either, manually add the markup as you type and see the immediate preview or you can highlight the text, right click and make bold.

It cannot get any simpler for writing beautiful looking blogs.

When you're ready to migrate to STEEMIT, simply highlight all the text, then go to Edit --> "Copy As Markdown." Then paste into STEEMIT's editor. You should see the exact preview on the bottom.

Create New Anonymous Accounts

---

As the name says, AnonSteem will create an account for you for a small fee. The fee for creating this is pretty small.

• BTC (.007)
• LTC (.4)
• STEEM (10)

I think this is a great idea for two main reasons. First is, your total privacy. You never have to give any identifiable information to create the account. Secondly, it's a really fast way to create your account. Doing it the normal way means waiting up to a week or longer to be approved. Who has time like that to waste?

Thanks to @anonsteem for giving us this option!!!

How To Check Your Stats

---

SteemStats.com Is an awesome little tool for checking lots of stats.

• See your Voting Power %
• See what posts are being voted on by the people you follow
• Your Estimated Power Down Rate
• Transaction information

Steemnow.com is another tool for looking at your stats.

This one is loaded with interesting stats like:

• How much your vote is worth
• Current SP
• Curation today
• Curation Yesterday
• Most recent UpVotes you gave
