Editing posts is a fairly significant feature of this community - the more aesthetically pleasing your post is, the more likely to is to be featured, and people are more likely to enjoy reading your posts! To help you get started, have a look through our guide to formatting blogs. This post will cover the basic information needed to start making your posts a little more aesthetically pleasing.

Already mastered blog formatting? Then maybe you want to have a look through some headers and dividers you can include in your posts. It may be a little more common to see this done with images lately, but the wikis provided there can still be a helpful start if you don’t want to include so many images in your blogs.

Then there’s editing pictures - whether that’s to just have them as a visual feature in your blogs or to make a cover image. Check out blogs ] to learn the basics of editing images.

Try to make your posts pleasing to the eye. This will make people want to read it, and they will be less intimidated by it. You can use emojis, emoticons, headers, images, gifs, formatting, dividers and spacing to make your posts more enjoyable to look at!

Nice formatting is not a requirement, it’s just something that helps you to make a feature-worthy blog!

See how I center blocks of text and use spacing in between paragraphs? Fancy isn’t it? You can center text by holding your finger down on the screen and clicking “center,” or just type [C] BEFORE the text

To bold text do the same thing but click on bold, or just type [B] BEFORE the text

To both bold and center text you’ll just type [BC] BEFORE the text

You can also use italics, underline or strike through text and you can make any combinations of these formats! Here are some nice combinations:

Bold: [B]

Centre: [C]

Italics: [I]

Underline: [U]

Strike through: [S]

Bold centred

Centred italics

Centre underline

Bold centred italics

Bold centred underline

Everything!

Developing your own personal post style can be plenty of fun. Experiment with different layouts and see what works for you!

Looking for headers and dividers to use in your blogs? Take a look at this!

Images are very important to blog posts. A wall of text is so boring. Blog posts are meant to be fun and inviting! Insert images into your blogs by holding your finger down in the screen, and clicking on the the little square image button. Like so:

There you can add photos to your post, and insert them in between paragraphs. Any photos added but not inserted directly to a specific spot will be shown at the bottom of the blog post, and the first (up to 3) of those will be shown on the front page.

All team amino in the community have a green amino badge directly attached to their profile photo:

All leaders and curators have the green leader/curator badge as a title on their profile:

Anyone without one of these who is claiming to be a leader or curator is a spammer and imposter! Do not click links from these s, and report them to a leader or curator immediately so that we can ban them and keep our community clean!

I hope that this post was helpful in some way, and that you learned something new! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions that you may have!

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and blog!
