Dang it! I was so impressed with myself. I read, and re-read the article, but didn't read again after publishing. Pride goes before the fall, right? Ha ha. Thank you for pointing that out.
I believe I figured out what went wrong. Apparently the space after the ellipses is optional in life, but required in Markdown. That's what caused the issue. I like how you showed an example in your explanation.
We'll see if "The man behind @themanwithnoname" makes an introduction. He's still figuring out Steem and trying to determine how much of himself will be revealed! Regardless, he plans on presenting a character that's as engaging as possible. :)
Side note: I use :) fairly often in my commenting. I try not to use it in my posts as I think I should be able to communicate my thoughts clearly without the use of emojis. However, in commenting, I try to be a little less formal and want to make sure I'm communicating my tone. Thoughts?
