Our community is focused on uniting students worldwide and centering our content around the campus and other campus-related matters will usher in a different experience from wheat we already see on steemit.

**Sample Content-Type

We want to feel and see what life is like as a student in different parts of the world. So be creative and share with us campus life in your university.

Just like the regular diary games, these posts can be made as often as daily to weekly compilation of activities, it's also important to use tags like #campusdiary and #nigeria(your country tag) and #steemexclusive. In addition, these are some of the rules guiding the campus diary posts.

Write Like A Pro Using The Perfect Markdown Styles

Its one thing to have a great content its another to have a clean post, maintaining a specific style of formatting your posts will help your posts look beautiful and professional.

Below are some of the markdown styles you may apply to your posts.

Text justify

You could justify your posts in 3 formats

• Left alignment,
• Right alignment and
• Center alignment.

Left alignment: This is the dsufult markdown setting on steemit. Its authomatcally allgns all text and post written to the left of the page. here is an example of what i mean:

You can notice how the texts on the left are following a straight line while the other end(the right) looks so random and unarranged.

Right alignment:A right alignment is the direct opposite of the left alignment scheme, in this case the texts start form the right and end on the left. Using a right alignment the post are arranged and on a straight line on the right and random on the left end.

Center alignment:A center alignment centers the text on the center of the page you are working on. it leaves the right and left end random.

These are the basic alignment types,now i am going to show you how to align your text and to have a clean end both on the right and left. something like this:

source

This post looks great and well patterned,you probably seen this type of formatting on newspapers and magazines. This is the code that does all the magic:

• Write exactly the code as it is in Arrow 1

• Write the second code exactly as it is in Arrow 2.

Center Texts

Texts are centered using a set of very simple commands, this allows the post to appear at the center of the page, usually used to mark a new heading or subheading.

The main command is code 3 and 4, the rest of the command which is 1 and 2 is very unnecessary.

Float Lerft and Right

In some football magazines and fashion magazines,newspapers and other blog,some images are floated on the left or the right. They are used to highlight a particular picture with the texts forming a cage like justification around it.

Ronaldo is the highest goalsocerer in the world, this picture is floated to the left.Ronaldo is the highest goalsocerer in the world, this picture is floated to the left.Ronaldo is the highest goalsocerer in the world, this picture is floated to the left.Ronaldo is the highest goalsocerer in the world, this picture is floated to the left.Ronaldo is the highest goalsocerer in the world, this picture is floated to the left.Ronaldo is the highest goalsocerer in the world, this picture is floated to the left.Ronaldo is the highest goalsocerer in the world, this picture is floated to the left.

Messi is the Best Player in the World. This picture is floated to the right.Messi is the Best Player in the World. This picture is floated to the right.Messi is the Best Player in the World. This picture is floated to the right.Messi is the Best Player in the World. This picture is floated to the right.Messi is the Best Player in the World. This picture is floated to the right.Messi is the Best Player in the World. This picture is floated to the right.Messi is the Best Player in the World. This picture is floated to the right.

This makes your post look very professional and award winning contender.

• First you input your code,that is the first arrow code.
• Second you paste your image.
• You then close the code for with the character shown by the 3rd arrow.
• Remember to text justify your post to have clean edge. However if you wish to save yourself the wok of justifying every paragraph i suggest you use the opening code before your first paragraph and the last code after the lats paragraph of your post.
• You then close the justify code with the lat arrow marking.

How to make your texts bold

You may wish to make word stand out in a long paragraph or article, this is how you do it:

• The first method is used to make bold titles.

• The second method is used to make texts standout or if you wish to highlight a word or sentence.

Making a List

If you wish to make a list while writing a post maybe you want to create a long list of items or features. This is how you do it.

Mastering the use of these markdown styles will help you make beautiful and well parteneed posts.

You could also add divders like the line below dividing paragraphs and subheadings. You could design a special and customized divider for yourself, adding a touch of professionalism and personalisation.

Conclusion

I believe this post will help everyone improve their markdown styles, it must always be present in your posts or else your great content will look very hard to read and disoriented.
