<b>[Introduction]</b> I realise that although I have asked for content contributions to Steem Trail Daily, I have not been specific enough to make folks comfortable with their submissions. I have given several examples in previous Daily posts, but none as good as I expect will come from actual Trail participants. In general, with very wide allowances, this is what I suggest.

1) [Introduction]  Describe your Trail
2) [Body] Make a personal and relatable connection
3) [Conclusion] Invite the reader

<b>[Body]</b> This format works for the 3-5 sentence as well as the 3-5 paragraph versions. For example:
<h3>Three sentence style</h3>
<code>Bird Feeding Trail by @baerdric
The bird-feeding-trail is a community of enthusiastic bird feeders who discuss the methods, materials and joys of feeding backyard and wilderness birds. Many people enjoy the beauty and grace of birds but may be unsure of how to attract their favorites or how to help birds make it through the winter. Please come and ask your questions or read all the great posts about bird feeding on the Bird Feeding-Trail (permalink)</code>
<h3>Three Paragraph style</h3>
<code>Bird Feeding Trail by @baerdric
The bird-feeding-trail is a community of avid bird feeders who meet to discuss and write posts on feeding backyard and wilderness birds. We hope to encourage greater participation on the Steemit platform by reading, commenting and voting for bird feeding related posts. We also provide a discussion community for sharing stories and sightings of beautiful or interesting bird.
Perhaps you have been thinking about putting up a feeder and don't know how to attract your favorite types of birds. Maybe you are concerned when you see the small birds hopping around on the snow, looking for food. While any bird feeder and seed is better than nothing, you want to make sure you are doing what is best for your enjoyment and the health and safety of the birds.
These are perfect questions to bring to the bird-feeding-trail. Our experienced authors can answer your questions directly or point you to curated posts on the subject. Or maybe you have experience you would like to share. Bring it all to the Bird-feeding-trail (permalink)

<h3>Further advice</h3>
The 3-5 sentence format can be duplicated onto the 3-5 paragraph format quite easily, it's up to you. Show off your writing skills.

The method, as taught to me 45 years ago in a high school journalism class, can be called "3-squared". You take the same three sentences, and make them into three paragraphs of three sentences, using the same format (introduction, body, conclusion) in each sentence. 

(For longer articles, "3 cubed" also works. 3-5 sections of 3-5 paragraphs of 3-5 sentences.)

<b>[Conclusion]</b> I hope this has helped you feel more comfortable about writing content for the SteemTrail Daily. Please be assured that I produce and distribute this post primarily for the chance to highlight your work, your trail, and your community, in hopes of increasing the value of STEEM for everybody. I do not receive any of the STEEM generated, it is all used to build the SteemTrail voting power and fund Trail exchanges. That said, I should point out that Trail coins incentives are available for both types of contributions.
