You're part of the 10,000 people who learn something new each day and I'm so glad you asked!
Aight, here's the tutorial from farfromdaylight's dreamwidth primer. It takes 10 minutes and will change your life. Probably. I find it faster and less cluttered, but I've been gradually piling on the html as needed for comments and for more sophisticated things. You can use markdown in tandem with html you see.
I've been using Draft for my internet writing for quite a while. I found it when I was looking for a browser-based writing program that wasn't Google Docs, and it extended to my Dreamwidth posts since it lets me use markdown and html with a quick preview mode for me to check formatting. I was talking to potofsoup about it and she found out that it has a Google Chrome extension that just pastes the html/text from your document into any text area. Since I open an entirely new browser window for typing up lengthy Dreamwidth posts (what with going back and forth being Draft and OneDrive and the Create Entries page), I thought I might as well use the extension. I still wish they had a Firefox one though.
You know what, as a bonus for all us Tumblr/elsewhere HTML noobs, I'm just going to post all the HTML codes for stylization that I experimented and copy+pasted on a text file somewhere. Responsive images and textboxes for all!
