New Features
Modularity of post creator
Complete rework of how components related to post creating works. Before this update there was too much repeated code, for example to change text editor I would have to change it in every component which create post.
After the rework there is only one component with editor, and title input etc. Some of the part of the interface are now controled by redux. Also to make everything work together, content made in post creator is dispatched to store.

Post validation
After noticing some of the users publishing empty posts I have introduced post validation, which will cover some of the scenarios:
- Trying to publish post without title,
- After canceling photo, audio or video it would be possible to post without it, validation fixes that problem.
Post is validated after user is trying to broadcast it to steem blockchain, if validation fails error is dispatched to new error component and post sending is stopped.

Error indication
New component to show different errors in post creation and sending proccess.
It shows messages from post validation and broadcasting function, for example when users try to send too many posts at once it will show error message to wait 5 minutes before posting new content.
To make it work main component responsible for showing post creator is connected to redux store, and every error which occurs dispatches message and switches error indication to boolean value to show itself in post creator.

Thank you for your contribution. I can see a lot of improvements from the last time. When I write an action, I tried to combine all in a single file like newPostBody.js, newPostTags.js, newPostTitle.js in a single action called newPostAction.js. It's also better to comments out the complex logic so that it will be better for other users to get a grasp of the code.
I checked the website and it looks cool, bdw when I tried to click Expand on the first post on the page https://steemblr.com/explore/gifs, and the screen started shaking.
