Fundamentals for posting in steemit for newbies !!
Being a newbie personally, i encountered few difficulties with regards to alignment initially. I hope the following post will be a very great eye-opener. I have made a list whose understanding will be much valued in posting an article as follows,
• Inserting images and their alignment
• Inserting Videos
• Adding a line break
• Making text to Bold or italic
• Varying headlines size
• Adding bullets
• Text to Hyperlink
• Adding username to comments
Let's have a look at the above bullets one by one,
• Inserting Images and their alignment
For inserting images no tags are needed, in case newbies are not aware of the same. Just (copying the link or ctrl+c) and (ctrl+v or right click-paste) would add image to the context.
For Right alignment, div class="pull-right" within div tags adding image source in between
For left alignment, div class="pull-left" within div tags adding image source in between
For Center alignment, add the image in between center tags <> </>
• Inserting Videos
To insert videos, find the video link in youtube and follow the below steps,

That's it! You are done with adding video to your post.
• Adding a line break
To add line break to your post, just insert b within <> and </> tags. If you don't close the tag, then it will make the text below bold by default.
• Making Text to Bold or Italic
For bold - add ** or __ before and after the text
For Italic - Just add any one symbol _ or * before and after the text
• Varying headline sizes
Add # the times you wanted to vary the text size followed by space before the text.
Example
#H1 headlines - implies # space h1 headlines will show the big headline size as below,
h1 headlines
##H2 headlines - implies ## space h2 headlines
######H6 small headlines - implies ###### space h6 headlines
• Adding Bullets
To add bullets to text hold the Shift key and tap the + symbol. Then tap the space bar and type the text. This is what it looks like,
+First line
And the result:
- First line
To create a bullet with a subcategory don't add the + on the next line as depicted below,
- First line
Second line
• Text to hyperlink
There are 2 ways - Using Markdown code or Standard HTML.
In this first scenario, we will use Markdown code.
This is the code : [text] (http://www.google.com) Add no spaces between the text and URL
This the result:
Google.com
For using HTML code use the href tag. You can use Markdown and HTML together in a post without any conflicts as far as i know.
• Adding username to comments
Just insert the symbol @ followed by username like @jonsnow9120.
Hope this article was an eye-opener to all newbies. Meet you in the next post.
Have a nice day!!
