Quoting Correctly, here on Steemit. Markdown simplified.
Give Credit Where it's Due!
I have seen countless blogs written here on Steemit, where the author didn't cite sources, and/or didn't cite them correctly. By not citing correctly, you are essentially stealing from the original author, and ruining your credibility in the process.
A random quote you like;
"Your business, and your brand, must first let people know what you care about, and that you care about them." -Donald TrumpA quote you like on Steemit;
"Life is fun and amazing because of the opportunities we have to help each other!" @jerrybanfield Assuming Positive IntentA quote you found on Facebook;
"I haven't started reading fully but i am loving the shareable memes"
-Terry Ajayi My Journey to SteemitHow do you use markdown to quote correctly?
Step 1: Type the word blockquote inside angle brackets, without spaces. < blockquote >
Step 2: Copy and paste the quote you would like to cite, and add quotation marks.
Step 3: At the end of the quote, leave a hypen with the persons name -Rob Carter or, if there are here on Steemit; - @rcarter.witness
How to shorten a link to embed, which contains a backlink to the quote you would like to use;
Step 1: Copy the link in URL.
Step 2: Use the blockquotes above, to quote correctly.
Step 3: After quoting the author, type in brackets; [write blog title here](Paste URL here, leaving no space between the bracket and parentheses)
Thank you for taking the time to read this blog.
Don't forget to reinvest in yourself
Personally, I recommend never powering down more than 25% of total rewards earned, in order to continue growing.
Happy Steeming!

Indeed. It's very important. And no, I don't watch Naruto :)
okay thanks for your response
How can I make word small for image source Rob? Thanks
Stealing ideas is a big NO. Always cite and give credits to the owner/author. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited and Steemians are encouraged always to right their own content.

That is how you do it, however it became a bad example since that image cease to exist now :P

It is always ok, and encouraged to share content, as long as you cite correctly :)
Also, if we utilize the downvote feature here on Steemit, it would help keep the community honest.
Thanks for the comment.
