Ignore this post, Applescript gone wrong. Should have tested while logged out. The part of the script that actually works:
set var_title to "Make up a catching title" as text
set var_tag to "enter up to five tags" as text
tell application "Safari"
tell window 1
set current tab to (make new tab with properties {URL:"https://steemit.com/submit.html"})
end tell
end tell
delay 10
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System Events"
keystroke return
delay 0.5
keystroke var_title
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke var_tag
end tell
