RE: A Checklist for Optimizing Every Steemit Post! #Dolphinschool Bootcamp Day NINE!

in #writing7 years ago (edited)

Hey Mark! I am super behind and not sure where I am to catch up. I had an issue on a post I have been trying to resolve from yesterday and I am about to call it a night.

I keep getting an error that one of my images didn't save properly. While it doesn't tell me which one... I think it's actually from using markdown and html together. I am trying not to change the post. It's a cheat sheet I made to share and I can't make that post without the cheat sheet.

I will possibly put it on the back burner and try to catch up but could use some advice as to how I do that. I got to the post of making a list of the paper clip uses... but didn't get a list or any further. Can't remember where I left off UpVoting and ReSteeming the right posts. What should I do from here to keep up or catch up?

It is really up to you. When I started this, I had no idea if it would work or not. Take your time. Today, there is no requirement for a post at all. If you leave a comment, I'll get by and give notes, etc. I think next round will be either 5 or 7 days.

@markrmorrisjr I would say it has worked out pretty well for everyone! Dolphin School has been really helpful for all of us that participated. I am trying to catch up on all my comments I have missed.

Hi Castleberry! I had this same issue and I discovered the issue:
You are using the html "img" tag, aren't you? Well, remember, when you put the src part in, it cannot include the ![] part, nor the curly brackets.

Thanks! I am in a process of elimination at the moment. I am (or was) using the img tags. I went back to the sources and resubmitted each link after i got the first error msg. The all show in the preview. I usually have the tag ready and I just drop the url into the "" portions. I didn't have any of the extra characters.
After reading your comment I went and deleted all the img tags and they are all still there on preview. So, I really think it's this portion where I give my html cheat sheet. I use ``` to open and close the section of code in a block quote kinda box and it looks great in preview. On Steemit it won't post though. On Busy it never ends the tag and the rest of the post is in a weird state.
I think it has to do with the image field that is created for the box code element. It wraps and that extends beyond the post parameters if I had to guess. So it's a weird bug i think merging the html, markdown, and the lack of css. I tried the html conversions for the markdown that "appears" to work... but they all blank the cheat sheet out. So I am stuck. I don't want to do screen shares because that defeats the purpose if you can't copy and paste!

@markrmorrisjr & @mandelsage I finally got the post to work by editing the code into single block tags and then Busy uploaded it finally. Ironically, i went back to edit the post from Steemit and it wouldn't update for the same error. I am sure it's the code now. Just glad I found a creative solution. The post is long and helpful! Oxymoron... but I feel that it did fit with many of the Dolphin School tasks. This fits the brief for almost everything I missed now that I am catching back up!
