Help
If you need help, please feel free to ask in any comment section or use Steemit.Chat. Steemians always helping each other. Before you start to ask have a look in the Steemit Help Net. And visit the official Steemit Welcome Page as well. There you find all informations and a lot of links around Steemit. Another possibility for help is @double-u's weekly page "Without any context". It seems to be german only, but it is not. We all speak English. Place your question there in the recent weeks posting and we will help you.
Use this Steemit FAQ as well. It is a very helpful collection. You already know, Steemit development is in Beta stage. Some things may seem to be strange. Just ask!
Groups, Friends, Private
Sign up at STEEMIT.CHAT. You will find Groups and space to have private chats. Steemit doesn't provide any chat function except the Comment Section below every article. If you click on „Reply“, you get an editor field to write a comment. It is always public! You can call another person, if you write the @ in front of a username, like @afrog (this function is not working since weeks). There is a new Chat machine called Discord. I can't tell you a lot about because I don't know a lot about.
Editors
For the understanding of Steemit editors use the Markdown Styling Guide. It is an important source if you want to work like a professional. Below of every editors frame (comments and postings) you will get the Preview of your work.
If you like, use Steem Writer for editing. It's created by @unipsycho. For me the Markdown Editor is good. I don't use icons for formatting.
Including Images and movie clips in your post works perfectly. You can do it in several ways, as described in the image help.
For sophisticated alignments read my article about alignment in the editor. There are bugs in the editor and you should know about.
If you want to know how this comment is build, have a look here
Study the section "Body". Here you are. This is the art of formatting on the Steem. It is a little bit tricky because the mix of HTML and Markdown is not working perfect in Beta.
Ooops, there is one more:

Okay, it seems to be enough stuff for today. Have fun and steem on!
