I know some of you may be thinking another post about formatting, but trust me- this is so crucial on steemit.
As I said last week I have seen some really good posts get lost in the steemit shuffle, bygone into the abyss of other quality written posts and missed out on some HUGE curated Upvotes- all because of the formatting and messy presentation.
I want to introduce all of you to a steemian who has been diligently writing a series of posts called the Beginner's Guides.
This is one of the better formatting guides and posts I have found by far. I am sure I've shared this before with many, if not most of you here. But for the new members joining on a daily basis, this is one link you'll want to save for future reference.
This link may be two years old but it definitely holds true even now.
Some of the biggest issues I see with posts while reading can actually lie within the formatting.
By using these hashtags to emphasize your headers, it can show the reader a division in your post of topics or ideas. I LOVE dividers! Let's me know a new topic is coming up; or has ended.
So... ask me a formatting question and let's see if I can help you. Or maybe you want me to look at one of your posts to advise you on how to make it even better than it is now? JUST let me know right here in the comments.

First, a Newbie Nickel is something that we at the #newbieresteemday initiative use to incentivize the newbies to play games or enter contests. Its a $0.05 upvote on their entry in the game/contest and it guarantees them something for making an effort. For some newbies this $0.05 is more than they can make on many posts, so it is indeed a way to earn "something" and to learn/engage at the same time.
