NOTE to your webmaster. You should allow copying of your text.

  • I was going to quote your site here, but couldn't...

@good-karma can you tell me why this page doesn't display correctly on esteem?

  • Everything below the first big wizard graphic displays as markdown...
    • I did use html to center the graphic.
      • That might cause this?

BTW Thank you very much for developing esteem!!! 👌

Congratulation. It is nice to see you won the resteem contest. I have to say this is a very helpful and comprehensive article. I have learnt a lot from you. Looking forward to your other posts in the future.
