Creating your first Blog post on Splintertalk.io

Recommendations before you start:

This post will describe the technical/function use of creating your first Splintertalk.io post. What you will eventually write down is excluded and is part of your own interests and skills.

Before you start, I have the following recommendations that get used in this tutorial:
-Make sure you have a HIVE account (for example by create a Splinterlands account: https://splinterlands.com/)
-Make sure you have HIVE Key Chain browser extension installed: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hive-keychain/jcacnejopjdphbnjgfaaobbfafkihpep

Log in

• Go to: https://www.splintertalk.io/
• Login with your Hive Name
• Confirm your login with Hive key Chain

Create a new post

• Click on the icon of the pencil to create a post

Write the post

• Create a clear title that will be easy to find
• Create the text
  • I personally prefer to write texts in Microsoft Word and after completing the text copy/paste it later, so I will get all the writing options I’m familiar with
  • My personal favorite Screenshot/picture editor/video screen recording program is Screenpresso (free): https://www.screenpresso.com/
    
• Use the layout options to change the layouts
  • NOTE: to create a bullet that jumped in 1 layer (like the one in front of this sentence use the bullet option from the format options and type 2 space before that.
  • To use big fonts, use the H option in the format menu.
• DO NOT FORGET A SPELL CHECK!!! Most browsers have a build in Spell check and F7 in MS Word does a spell check, Grammarly is a good plug-in or use a website like this: https://www.online-spellcheck.com/
• Write a summery that covers the entire post in 1 sentence
• Create keywords that the system will use in the search bar when people try to search for your post. Better keywords mean being easier to find, meaning more visits.
  • Note: you cannot use capitals, signs or numbers here and your tag needs to be at least 3 characters long.
  • Note: a space will complete your last tag and allow you to start typing on your next tag
