Introducing Steem Skills!

![Steem Skills.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZLj9qA4HiKWLqELRAhbx3hfQr2bLFn31Yc224TAW46GM/Steem%20Skills.jpg)

I am really excited to introduce a project that I have been working on called [**Steem Skills**](https://steemskills.teachable.com).

[**Steem Skills**](https://steemskills.teachable.com) is an online course that will focus on the skills that are essential for Steemit users to grow and prosper in the Steemit community.

The first course is called **Steem Markdown**, which will teach you what you need to know to format and style your posts. I will be closing the testing phase of the course very soon. For a limited time, **Steem Markdown** is available for **FREE**.

All of the bugs have not been ironed out, so I would appreciate any feedback - encouragement and constructive criticism.

Here are the things I still need to work on:
- The Introduction Page
- Certificate of Complete and/or Completion Badge
- Some additional items for the Tips and Tricks Section

Again, please take advantage of this Markdown resource that is specially designed for Steemit user.

And let me know in the comments section how I can make this even better for you and future Steemit users.

A special thanks to a few Steemian who have already provided great feedback:
- @jasonbu
- @xeonn
- @thatsweeneyguy

The markdown [Link] has now been working for me for over a week. One has to watch out about gaps, the same for quotes. Play around; be aware of this. Be well.

@aedroberts, I appreciate the advice.  I have noticed that sometimes Markdown syntax in Steemit does not act the way it is described in other guides.  I have also noticed that sometimes the browser you use also makes a difference.  Thank for the comment.

I would love to hear your thoughts about the online module and get your feedback.
