*banned 4 MarkDown love* @design_RG@qoto.org

🇬🇧 MarkDown language is a simplified form of creating a variety of text styles. Bold, Italicized, Underline, Header (text) sizes, all in much shorter and easier commands than classic HTML Markup language.

Note the name, a play on the HTML variant.

The Interactive MarkDown tutorial is also available in ENGLISH for those who are more comfortable in that language.

If you speak Spanish, there are LESS resources to learn about this and other tech topics.

Found a Blog post here that explains the Basics, in Spanish, and links to another site with an interactive tutorial.

🇪🇸 El lenguaje MarkDown es una forma simplificada de crear una variedad de estilos de texto. Tamaños en negrita, en cursiva, subrayado, encabezado (texto), todo en comandos mucho más cortos y fáciles que el lenguaje de marcado HTML clásico.

Anote el nombre, una reproducción en la variante HTML.

Si habla español, hay menos recursos para aprender sobre este y otros temas tecnológicos.

Encontramos una entrada de blog aquí que explica los conceptos básicos, en español, y enlaces a otro sitio con un tutorial interactivo.

We were discussing this the other day.

Found in the #fediverse, and I agree.

* Glitch Homepage is https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon

I love it, fresh new features include a strictly LOCAL, not federated at all option when you create any post.

But this Toot series is about the MarkDown, and here are the controls that enable it. Or even the choice to use full html tags on post if desired.

We just played around on an unlisted thread, and some fun things were learned.

Do you see any differences?

( first of a series of posts )

...I hadn't - discovered it earlier this afternoon. Very interesting!

Made a series of Toots about it, and since I started a new blog (finally), a blog post with the same content and polish, text formatting, etc.

Find out about Trunk for Fediverse - https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/to-help-new-users-set-up-todon-101-page

#followfriday

Help pages are useful always.

"This page is a about two kinds of help:

* helping you, if you're running into problems
* helping us, if you'd like to support us"

https://communitywiki.org/trunk/help

Organizations are listed on Trunk, all on one page. Click on desired one for more info, follow it desired.

https://communitywiki.org/trunk/grab/Organisations

Image below shows The Lists" of * people *, all sorted into a multitude of interests. From the main page, just scroll down.

https://communitywiki.org/trunk/

Reading through their page, I noticed "Trunk for the Fediverse".

What is it? https://communitywiki.org/trunk/

"Trunk allows you to mass-follow a bunch of people in order to get started with Mastodon or any other platform on the Fediverse.

If you click on one of the lists below, you'll see a page full of people that volunteered to be on that list. Yeah, people. Our goal is to connect newbies with people. The only exception we have is our list of Organizations."

Great ideas deserve to be recognized.

Todon.NL has a custom "101" page to help new users set house and find worth people to follow.

https://wiki.todon.nl/todon/101?redirect=1

Simple, good advice and organized.

And -- I discovered an awesome new thing, describing on next post.

And thankfully I remembered where that BLESSED Mute Conversation control was.

Ever handy when a thread gets out of hand.

Below the post, click on DOTs menu '...' and... Of we go. 😉

And then we discover new and cool places... When looking for cool and old software.

Adobe PageMill in my case. Now abandoned, FREE, used to be their web dev solution around 1999.

"WinWorld is an online museum dedicated to the preservation and sharing of vintage, abandoned, and pre-release software. We offer information, media and downloads for a wide variety of computers and operating systems.

Write.freely is the software and host for my new blog. I am enjoying the experience - had meant for a long time to put down in writing ideas, stories and images from projects, travel, etc.

A "Writer's Guide at the developer's page"is helpful.

While the plain interface of write.freely has no distractions (just a screen to type on. Dark mode is available, very few buttons), to make text look nicer on screen you will eventually want Bold, Italics, bullets, etc.

The Guide helps learn those.

A reminder, we still have a few days left for anyone wishing to nominate a Qoto.org user for a Moderator position now open.

Having been nominated to the post, I wrote my views of what this important job includes.

See it on my new blog post: https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/qoto-moderator-nomination-process-notes

Interesting!

"My personal warning to you if ever you choose to use pirate Bay for whatever thing... Please for the love of Pete to use a VPN. Personally I prefer boxpn.com because they have really good customer support... And they're not expensive... And they are backed by hackers... But whatever service you use please if you're going to stream from pirate Bay please please please use a VPN to a country such as Switzerland where it is not illegal.

I have just prepare a post at Qoto.org's Discourse Forum, grouping a series of Toots I posted here earlier today..

This is probably easier to read on screen. https://discourse.qoto.org/t/a-gentle-note-to-our-fellow-qoto-users-personal-reflections-by-design-rg/141
