Wanted to do a quick micro tutorial on how to make the Steemit Follow button that when clicked will take a Steemit user to your Blog page to follow or read your posts. It is very easy to get done using a little Markdown and the steps are below:
This is pretty easy, just click on the Blog section by clicking on your Steemit account picture:
Then copy the URL in the address bar, for example for my account it was: https://steemit.com/@dcolthar
What you're going to be doing is embedding the Follow image in the text section of a Link in markdown, the URL for the follow image is:
https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/https://i.imgsafe.org/b87bb98157.gif
So our markdown is going to look like the below, for example for mine the Markdown is:
[](https://steemit.com/@dcolthar)
The code is a bit long so it spans two lines in this example but the result is a button you can put in posts or replies that takes a user direct to your Blog so they can Follow or look at your content. Hope this proves useful to some in the community out there!
Until next time,
Doug
