@help I want to write a long-form post and include photos interspersed throughout the post. This is the first time I’ve done this with Micro.blog and not WordPress. Any tips or tricks?

@cygnoir apps like iA Writer or Ulysses let you compose a post with images in between and post directly to micro.blog from them. Another way can be using and app like Mimi, that uploads your images and create links you can add in between text.

@Gaby That’s helpful. Thank you! I was stymied by iA Writer’s instructions to insert images as content blocks on my Mac, but then I opened iA Writer on my iPhone and it works!

@cygnoir Great, glad iA Writer worked! On iOS, Sunlit is another option. And on macOS, I like MarsEdit if you need more control with HTML.

@cygnoir If you’re on a Mac then definitely invest in Mars Edit. 😀 It’s also soooo useful for going back through older posts, finding old posts and more.

@help I forgot about Sunlit. 😂 Oops! I didn’t realize it had sections. I want to create a post that has text, photo, text, photo, text. Still working on this in iA Writer. I wish I understood how to add a post title, though.

@Miraz @help I do love MarsEdit, and used it for my WordPress blog. It wasn’t entirely clear to me how to add photos from my phone, though.
