What New Medium Writers Need to Know
Everything that I wish I knew when I started writing on Medium
I started writing on Medium over a year and a half ago. For the most, part this site is extremely intuitive and easy to use, but there are a lot of things about writing here that I wish I had learned earlier. Below is everything that I can think of that I wish someone had told me when I first joined the site.
If you’re new to writing on Medium, or even just thinking about starting to write here, this post is for you. I hope that even seasoned Medium writers will learn at least one or two new things as well.
1. Formatting
If you highlight text Medium will give you a list of formatting options. Most are self-explanatory or can be figured out by testing them out. For example, the large “T” creates headings and the small “T” creates subheadings.
Titles and subtitles
If you create a heading at the top of your article, Medium will automatically format it into a title. If you create a subheading immediately below that, Medium will automatically format it to a subtitle. Take a look at the top of this article for an example of what that looks like.
