While it may be obvious to some, there are reasons for formatting your posts. They're for enhancing comprehension, and establishing priorities - all by providing contrasts between sections of your content.

If you're not making art with text, try using appropriate headers, lists, and other text-formatting in the most common ways possible. If you've been playing around with Steemit's Markdown / Editor, try using H1, H2, H3, and unflavoured texts appropriately. H1 is for the main header, H2 is for the sub-header, and so forth.

There are just too many written posts using the Header-formatting for large blocks of text, as if to emphasise every piece of content. When everything is the same, it simply becomes boring. Formatting loses its purpose. It may work for some kinds of content, but like all kinds of art, a degree of contrasting is necessary.

Use formatting sparingly and try to break-up your paragraphs consistently! Just follow the formatting in textbooks and ancient scriptures. It has been tried and tested through the ages, even before the printing press revolution.

Some tips for image formatting: instead of the default left-aligned image, I prefer to make it center of the page, or have it wrapped around texts just like the image used in this post. To do this, just use the following code:-

<div class="pull-right">
https://image.jpg
</div>

Here's a list my most frequently used formatting (I prefer to do it in Markdown):-

---

# Main-header
## Sub-header
### Sub-sub-header

# <center>A header in the center!</center>

*italics* 
**bold** 
***italics & bold***

<sub>Small text</sub>

- List 1
- List 2
- List 3
