Just a compilation of helpful tutorials or fun utilities shared by cohorts. Mostly a resource for myself to easily re-find helpful things, but maybe other folks will find this handy too! I'll probably update this post over time as I learn new things around here.

How to post inline images without hotlinking or hosting on another site by @blackle
-
^Note for image linking in Cohost drafts, I have noticed one of my images posted this way break after a site update. It wasn't a big deal to replace it at this time since my account is still pretty new, but for the sake of not having to comb through all my posts in the future, I think it's better practice to use your own image hosting. I use Neocities!

Apparently there is no limit on image length. Some Examples by @mrfb and myself. I think there is potential here for experimenting with infinite canvas style comics!
