Step 1: Go to the My Highlights Page
Click the My Highlights at the top left and go to the My Highlights page.
You can see the Posts section at the top, so click it. It takes you to the Posts page.
Step 2: Write a Post
On the Post page, you can see all the posts you made before if there are any. You can see the Write a Post button, so click it to start writing.
It opens an empty page where you can start writing. Write whatever comes to your mind. It's markdown style.
If you type any letter, it's a plain text. But if you'd like to customize the format, please click an information icon at the bottom left.
It shows the editor's guide. So, you can follow the guide to customize the format.
For example, type and click on the keyboard to use the bullet list on the article* and then click Space. It turns plain text into bullet points.
If you want to add a code snippet to the post, type ``` to start embedding.
