RE: STEEMNEWS.ONLINE Has a Logo!! Thanks @RigaroniB!
This post above was done in HTML and needed almost no editing to work here. It posted on our test site just fine, except the featured image didn't get pulled correctly.
I was suggesting that you pass the onus of formatting and checking that pics etc all look right back to the author of the post. If they use this free online utility: https://html-online.com/editor/ - they send you a formatted post and you just need to look at it for a final check. Just trying to save you time and effort!
Yes, that would be nice. Currently all the news tagged articles are being sent to our site, as well as all newslink. They get posted in columns immediately. Those that have the #steemnews tag are held in drafts for us to inspect to see if we want to feature them. If they're formatted correctly already, we feature them. If they're not we either format them (they have to be incredibly good for that) or just send them to the news tagged section.
It's a great system, if the formatting was working. Since Steemit fixes a lot of formatting issues, it's made it kind of easy to get away with some things we generally wouldn't on some other platforms. It's great for Steemit, but tough on us.
I doubt we could get enough people using html to make it work. But if we could get a regular bank of trusted authors doing so, we could add their feeds to our featured section automatically. It'll take time to build that kind of trust though. And, at the moment, folks aren't banging down our doors trying to be featured. We need to build up to that.
All that to say, getting the plugin working correctly would sure simplify things. It would add value to our service as well.
Thanks for the suggestion.
