Many of you reading this may be new to Steemit, so instead of juts reintroducing SteemIMG to the community I created several tutorials on getting your images displayed properly within your posts and comments.

How To Upload, Link, Organize, and Publish Images/Gifs to Steemit

Step 1: Selecting/Creating The Image(s)

First in order to have images in your post you must first have them. You can get images by either selecting them from online (that may already suited to your needs) or you can create them. If you have the capability to create your own images ie. Photoshop / illustrator / Drawing Software etc... and a little bit of artistic talent (doesn't take much) I would suggest doing that. You gain an originality to your Steemit post which many don't have (Or even care about) and this will attract more potential readers. Otherwise there are a lot of images on the internet to choose from, in all shapes and sizes, one will defiantly fit your needs. If you do choose this option please add a referencing link to where you found the image and or artist.

Step 2: Uploading The Image(s) to Steemimg.com

There are many different ways to upload an images on SteemIMG and really it comes down to preference (all are pretty easy).

Since we just touched on Images found on the internet we will start there. Since you don't want to rely on the current whereabouts of the image you have found (could be deleted without notice) you will want to host it via SteemIMG of course.

Step 3: Using your newly uploaded images inside your Steemit Post

Now that you have successfully added all your images on SteemIMG it's time to use them throughout your post!

Let's start with your main image, your Header or Title Image. This image will be used as the thumbnail and preview image found in the multiple feeds on Steemit. This image is very important and gives the first impression of you and your post, so choose wisely. If you do not follow this simple step Steemit will choose a random image from within your post (I haven't seen any rhyme or reason to it yet anyway) and this couldn't be disastrous!

It's Easy (desktop)

• If you're not there already go to https://steemimg.com
• With your image selected Navigate to Embed Codes
  
• Then copy the Image URL displayed below the image (There are many other options for advanced use but for beginners always just select the top link)
  
• Paste the url into your article where you want it to display
• That's It! seriously.

Mobile

• Open your favorite browser on your Mobile Device
• got to https://steemimg.com
  
• The image will open within the browser window
• Tap and hold your finger and select copy
• Go to article and Tap and hold and select paste!
• Done.

Now to make it the Title Image Place the Image in a Header 1 tag <h1>IMAGE URL HERE</h1>
That's all it takes for title image, but you have to remember to always do it!
