Key Blogging Tips

• Utilizing bullet points or numbered lists can effectively present your ideas in a structured manner.
• The header serves as your title, while the sub-header is the section you fill in just below the title on your draft page (accessible via the "next" button on mobile).
• Including at least one image significantly enhances the visual appeal of your articles. Medium offers a list of copyright-free photo resources, such as Unsplash, for your use.
• To enhance readability, consider leaving spaces between lengthy paragraphs to separate distinct ideas. This is subjective, so experiment to find what suits your style.
• The "@" button in the toolbar allows you to tag other Medium writers, making it easy to give credit or offer shoutouts. Simply type their username after the "@" symbol, and a list of profiles will appear for you to choose from.
• The "three dots" menu separates your main content from promotional material. After your article, use it to add acknowledgments or links to connect with your audience.
• When including links, copy the desired URL, highlight the text you wish to link, and select "link" to paste the URL. This makes your highlighted text clickable once published.
• In the same area as the linking options, you'll find additional formatting tools like Bold, Italic, and Translate to enhance your content.
• The Quotes feature allows you to highlight important text, which can help reinforce the key messages in your article.

Final Thoughts

As I wrap up, I’d like to share a little tidbit on formatting. The small "T" is used for regular text, while the large "T" creates a header-sized font.

Here’s an example of a quote:

“This is a quote.”

And here’s how tagging works:
