<html> <p><strong>Lessons learned on day 1 of steemit</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Be aware of the editing time-limit of stories/blog posts.<br> </strong>You may not be able to edit your post after a payout has been made from that post (less than 24hrs)<br> <br> I'm considering composing text in another editor first, especially as there is not presently a "save as draft" feature. Further, a check of how the story turns out immediately after posting may be useful to spot any incorrect markdown or HTML.<br> <br> </li> <li><strong>Images</strong><br> Image files are not directly uploaded to steemit as they are in other social media platforms. Instead, you can upload to an image/file hosting service and add a link to the image on that hosting from your story. In markdown mode an image is inserted using ! [ ] (url-to-image-on-web)<br> <br> </li> <li><strong>Tags<br> </strong>Each story may have a space delimited list of tags. Use the steemit search function to find stories that would be in a similar category as yours and find what tags they use with their post. The tags help your audience find relevant posts.<br> <br> </li> <li>Start <strong>exploring the steemit community</strong> and remember to <strong>upvote</strong> any posts and stories you come across that you appreciate.<br> <strong><br> </strong></li> </ul> </html>
