RE: Dear Dawne "Special Edition" Live Today! - Formatting
The difference in the position can be noticed more if you look to the left side of the pic.
I see many of these posts about markdown, and honestly, they confuse as much as they help. Explaining things from an already know point of view does not help the understanding of those without that knowledge. I have gone and tried to do some research and tested some of what I learnt.
Unfortunately, I do not know the question I need to ask, I do not have a great understanding of what it is I am trying to ask.
My experiences with the editing of text, image or positioning have all been done with drag and drop position done by hand.
I would like to suggest, The possibility of someone doing a test template for others to use and gain an understanding of what they are doing with this template. This template for others to use could be done in a simplistic manner so I could relate to it :)
The ability to copy paste a blog another has done with changing the text and images, basically a mini-blog is done, Showing all the <> </> the ** for bold and the italics
paragraphs the center commands already in place and just the interior parts of the blog with a need to be changed. People could experiment with this initial blog to see what does what to the blog they will post. This may, in the beginning, cause a few blogs to be placed and deleted, and have some failed attempts left up.
For some who struggle with the formatting of blogs, I feel this would provide for some at least a quicker progression to understanding
Yes I commented about this above. For some reason when I was prepping the post in the preview screen, it showed through great- but now that it's published, you can't really see the difference.
I can attempt to make a template for general use. I do have weekly featured posts I personally make and I keep a document on my laptop with that template for the individual posts. Keeps them all uniform from week to week.
A smaller image size might show the centralization a bit better. I can only see maybe from training as a printer for lithographic production. We learn little tricks like that.
Personally, I found it gets to the confusion and frustration part when the blogs about anything lead to a link about something said previous which also has a link to something blogged previously and so on. The intake of information becomes less a positive result, as there is so much else there non-relevant to the information being sought.
I do not write this as a negative to anything you have written. I do see the value in the things you write and I do see the help it provides many with. Though with the number of blogs been done on the markdown and how to format blogs, there must be something going amiss from the persons reading, to gain a better understanding of the how-to aspect. I have learnt somethings but the vast is still beyond my understanding.
Oh no worries.
It can be VERY confusing and frustrating. I still get that even now myself.
I will take this holiday weekend when I have some down time and see about making a template to post in the Discord group.
I will be reading :)
You were right @jan23com... I made it smaller to be more clear. Thanks and happy to give you a couple newbie nickels!
lol, when the student becomes the teacher, lol
