DW tips for G+ users

This is a post for G+ users who are trialing DW in light of G+'s upcoming shutdown.

• The create-entries beta is much more mobile-friendly. Turn it on here.
  • You can't use rich-text in the create-entries beta; however, you can use Markdown by putting "!markdown" (no quotes) on the first line by itself. In addition to the standard Markdown syntax, you can refer to someone's DW account by putting @ before their username.
• You can make the reading components of the site more mobile-friendly with solarbird's style.
• DW splits access--who reads your stuff--and subscriptions--who you read. If you need to go more fine-grained, you can grant partial access through circles and you can trim down your reading through filters.
• If you want people to plus-one your posts, you can copy-paste this poll code into the end of a post (EDIT: I didn't realize that creating polls is a paid feature, sorry!:
  <poll name='' isanon='no' whovote='all' whoview='all'>
  <poll-question type='radio'>
  +1?
  <poll-item>+1</poll-item>
  </poll-question>
  </poll>
• You can post by email (which can also use Markdown); turn it on and then check out the details.
• If you're writing from someplace that does bookmarklets, here's one for signal-boosting DW posts within DW.
• DW does host images, but the quota's so low that it's not really useful at this point.

Let me know if you have questions!
