RE: South To Sian Journals - Australian Premier
Hi @marillaanne You're 100% right, Steemit has taken a bit of a back seat (as you can tell from my extremely late reply!) Do you use the app on your phone? I have so many issues with it. I would be on this platform so much more if it didn't require me to get out the computer.
Thanks so much for dropping me a comment... your advise/ encouragement is what I needed to hear :)
I sometimes use eSteem but It's been crashy lately. It goes through ups and downs. You have to log in using your private posting key. You probably have it stashed somewhere but it's in the wallet > permissions area. Be sure you click the "show private key" button on the far right end of the row.
The eSteem editor is nice in that you can save your work and then come back to it. But it's up to you to save your drafts and it may well lose your work if you hit the back button and throw yourself out of the app ... or if something else causes the app to go to the background.
Also, every time you click the add a post option (which is on the home page in the 3 dots but not under your profile) you will be presented with the app editor and it will be filled in with all the info of your previous posted app. It is safe to hit the clear button and start fresh. I'm not sure how I did it ... but I managed to double post one post.
Also, posting from your phone in an Instagram kind of way is possible with Steepshot on the android at least. You won't be able to write or read the post (description) section. All that is available to you is the Title which is like 255 characters and then the comments. I've used it a few times and just went crazy wild posting bits of trivia in the comment section.
The most annoying part of Steepshot is that people using the normal posting methods will have hidden all the delicious scoops of info in the post section. I know. so inconsiderate. So. I never last long in that app.
BUT Here's the thing. It's entirely possible to use the website via your cell phone web browser. The mobile site is fully functional and enjoyable. To get started, you're either looking for a pencil or a "submit a story" link beside your own profile icon.
To upload photos, use the "selecting them" link at the bottom of the Post (description) field /box.
The full line at the bottom of the section says, "Insert images by dragging & dropping, pasting from the clipboard, or by selecting them." That's where the link is. When you click it, it let's you take a photo or select from your gallery.
On the go, it's easiest just to stick to the simple markdown editor view that is first presented. (In other words, Don't click on the Editor link under the Title.)
Yell if you need more info! I'm glad to see you wandering about again :-)
