That's some solid advice. Learning basic formatting definitely can change a post from average to great.
Personally, if I see a post without pictures. I generally move away from it very quickly. If there isn't something to break up the text, then it just becomes a challenging read. I don't know if that says something bad about me or not though.
And perhaps there should also be some advice in there about how to comment in a meaningful way on other's posts, that comment from @zarish really grinds my gears!
I've found that it helps to use a little formatting and the shortcuts are a boon! The tiny * is a useful tool. One on either end of a word or sentence can bring it to life.
Haha! I usually MUTE them after a little while. They carry on commenting, but I don't see them.
And then there’s this little guy # which allows you to create headings in various sizes. :)
There’s so much to learn here.
