For some reason I didn't "trust" Steemit's post page for my first few months. I always typed in Word, then copied to Steemit. But somehow it never copies correctly and I have to go back thru and space the paragraphs- it's weird. And then I'd save my Word doc to a folder on my desktop dedicated for just published Steemit posts.

But... this last month I relaxed and have been writing many articles on just the Steemit editor. GRRRR! Guess I learned my lesson!

The way you do it is a really thorough method- and well worth it! Because you can't get back the hours and all those beautifully arranged words :(
