Steem and Steemit guides

Most people want to include pictures in their post when they are blogging on the Steem blockchain, but at the moment it's currently impossible to store pictures directly on the blockchain. However, you can easily include pictures in your post, but they cannot be stored directly on the blockchain itself. To include pictures in your post, simply drag them into your post (only works if you are using Steemit or Busy). This will automatically upload your picture to Steemit's servers, and they will be visible on your post. You could also upload your pictures on any image hosting service (such as Imgur) and paste the direct link to the picture into your post to make it show up. It might be possible to upload pictures directly to the blockchain in the future, which would be amazing, but we've got to upload them somewhere else until this can happen.

Steem Power has many advantages over Steem, and the main selling point is that you get more influence over the blockchain, both in terms of curation reward, but also in post reward and witness vote weight. Below are the 6 best reasons why you should Power Up all your Steem into Steem Power!

If you are unsure exactly how much a single of your upvote is worth, then checking it is actually easy, and you don't even have to find anything to upvote. An easy way to check it is by going to http://steemnow.com/ and type in your username in the section on the right side. Once that is done you can see exactly how much a 100 % vote weight upvote is worth. You can also play around with the slider to see how much the other percentages are worth. It is even possible to use this website to check out the value of other people's upvotes, and just type in their username to find it out.

When you create a post on the Steem blockchain, you can have up to 5 different tags attached to your post, and other users tend to browse these tags in search for good content. This means that posting content with the correct tag could potentially get you a lot of upvotes, and many people don't know that it's easy to find tags that have a high payout. The entire list of tags that have a certain payout is found over at http://steemit.com/tags, and there you can sort it by clicking on the column that says "Payout". This will put the tag with the highest total payout at the top, so you can easily find those who pay a lot! You got to remember that this tells how the total payout for all posts in the tag category, not the average payout. If you want the average, look at the "# of posts" column, and divide the Total Payout by this # of posts. This gives you the average, and can be a good starting point when looking at tags that are valuable. Never use non-r...

Below is a short explanation of each of the three different tokens Steem Steem is the main token on the Steem blockchain. You can trade, sell and buy Steem from other users as you wish. You will get awarded Steem or SBD in addition to Steem Power when your contribute to the blockchain by posting or commenting.
