I've spendt about three days on a post messing it up actually this post till I was dreaming about other options, they worked too lol.
It's frustrating when it doesn't work the coding, getting there understanding it a little each time.

That is one amazing aspect of Steemit. It seems like every post you learn more and more until it becomes second nature. The other day I sent my wife a text and I put two * around each side of a word to make it bold, lol!

That is true it will come second nature soon enough, it's just the researching, trail & error and learning hurdle to get over then hopefully clean sailing.
Did your wife wonder why you put the * around the words - that is too funny.
