How To Use The Headings On Persona Paper?

I have a question about Persona Paper. And I'm hoping that someone knows the answer. Has anyone tried to use the headings feature on Persona Paper? Do you know how they work?

I just published an article (about NaNoWriMo) and I actually tried to add H2 headings on said article and I even increased the font size a bit. On the textbox editor or the submit post textbox, the headings and the entire layout of the post looks perfectly fine.

There are no extra spaces. I can clearly see which one is the heading and which one is just the regular text, etc. Basically, the post looks the way it should on the text editor.

So I thought that all was well. But, after publishing my article, I noticed that the layout got all messed up. It doesn't look nice anymore. There are too many spaces in between the paragraphs. My headings look like normal text and it's not even in bold font anymore.

I don't know how to fix it though since, when I clicked on the edit button, I got taken to the text post editor and the entire article looks all right there, so I don't know what I'm supposed to do so it would look the same when the article is published.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm not putting any headings or changing the font sizes on this post since I don't want to mess it up as well. Thanks for any help 😊.

Here are some of the comments from this article, back when it used to be posted elsewhere:

"I have not had sub-titles for my post but I too sometimes get my post with words stuck together after I click the submit button. This is a post meant of Admin. And I am sure elitecodex will read it."

"Thanks. I also experienced what you mentioned about seeing 2 words being stuck together even though they're properly spaced in the text post editor."

"It is easy actually. Simply hit the "H2" button at the top of the text editor, and type in your heading. Then when you hit enter it will automatically end the H2 and start your paragraph.

I would not use H1 as we put the title of the article in a H1 tag, but the rest should be good to use."

Does Niume Reply To Messages?

Also known as, "How is the Niume support?"

Niume is a writing site or a collaborative blogging platform where you can post your articles and get the chance to earn a little bit of money from your writing. It's free to join and you can start posting and earning right away.

You can use this link (aff link; we both get $1 each) to join or this one (non-aff link; no one gets anything, which is why, up to now, I still regret not knowing about Niume's affiliate program before joining the site).

Anyway, Niume's a pretty good site. I like writing and posting articles there especially since their minimum requirement is only 5 lines (not that I'd ever managed such a short post. Somehow, I always seem to end up publishing really long articles. LOL).

Problem with Niume

One of the things that I don't like about Niume is how hard it is to post there. I talk more about exactly what's going on here and here. This issue is especially frustrating because it's been happening ever since I joined the site.

It got to the point where I started dreading posting anything there. That's one reason why I don't post there everyday even if their minimum requirements are so low.

Having to publish the same post over and over again is such a hassle and a waste of time. Missing out on views and possible earnings can be disheartening as well.

Trying to contact Niume

The very first time I experienced this problem, I tried to contact Niume via the site's messaging feature. I got the impression that they were very welcome to being messaged thanks to this:

I got this message soon after joining the site. It says:

Niume Blog & Support 17/10/16
Hi Freya, welcome to Niume!

We are a platform that gives people the chance to collaborate and share their work to connect with a huge and passionate audience of readers. In order to do so join your favourite spheres of interest and create your first post.

Also, if you have any feedback or problems using Niume send us a message here and we will answer ASAP!

P.S: if you have a twitter account send it over to us so we can tweet your posts to our large following so they can reach even more people :)

So, when I was having trouble publishing my very first post on the site, I decided to reply to that message, saying:

Freya Yuki 19/10/16
Hello. Thanks for the welcome. I'm enjoying Niume so far, but I need some help with publishing my posts here as I'm having a bit of trouble.

I click on the submit button and then get taken to a page where it says my post has been published. I click the finish button and then-

I get taken to the sphere where I published my post. Sometimes, I see my post listed there. I click it and it opens. But, when I refresh the page, I get redirected to the Niume homepage.

When I check my profile, the post I just published isn't listed there. Or, if it is, after I refresh the page, the post disappears.

This happened with my very first post and I've had to publish it maybe 3 or 4 times before it finally stopped disappearing.

As I write this message, I'm still having trouble publishing my second post. I've tried maybe 7 or 8 times already and the post still won't show up on my profile or on the sphere where I published it in.

When I check my drafts page, it's still there. Can someone advice me on what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this? Thank you very much.

Regards,
Freya Yuki

However, I didn't get a reply to this message. Initially, I thought maybe I wasn't able to send the message properly, so I tried again. I sent another message, saying:

Freya Yuki 20/10/16
Hello. Good day. Can anyone help me? I’m new to Niume and I'm having trouble trying to publish my second post here. I click on the submit button and then get taken to a page where it says my post has been published. I click the finish button and then-

I get taken to the sphere where I published my post. Sometimes, I see my post listed there. I click it and it opens. But, when I refresh the page, I get redirected to the Niume homepage.

As I write this message, I'm still having trouble publishing my second post. I've tried several times already and the post still won't show up on my profile or on the sphere where I published it in.

I've already tried logging out, clearing the browser's cache and cookies and then logging in again, but it still won't work.

When I check my drafts page, it's still there. Can someone advice me on what I'm doing wrong and how to fix this? Thank you very much.

Freya Yuki

Even now, I have yet to get a response for either of those 2 messages. And, yes, unfortunately, I'm still having problems publishing posts on Niume.

Using Twitter to contact Niume

Niume has a Twitter account (@niume_official). I sent them a tweet asking for help, but they've never responded.

Using an article to contact Niume

Aside from this publishing problem, I also experienced a problem with the Niume dashboard. There was a discrepancy between the number of views listed on my dashboard and the one listed on my profile page. I talk more about that problem in this post.

Much to my surprise, Niume Blog & Support actually commented on said post, saying:

Niume Blog & Support: The reason for the difference is the dashboard shows by default the last 30 days of activity. If you have 8 total posts but have posted only 4 in the last 30 days then logically it will show 4. Since our latest launch this should be a lot more clear with the date range being shown.

Unfortunately, their response didn't really help much. I replied, saying:

Thanks for the response. I did notice that the new update now displays the Niume Wallet, which appears to be accurate. When I select the dates, the correct number of posts is now displayed, but the number of views is still incorrect. As the screenshot below shows, even with the correct dates (October to December as I joined sometime in October) selected, the number of views listed is only 683 while my profile shows 1.2K and even the value in the Niume Wallet reflects that. I hope Niume will eventually allow us to see data/stats via an all-time view, so we don't have to use the custom date range and just click a button or link or something that will show us the total number of views, revenue and posts we've obtained since we joined the site. Again, thanks for your response and hope you can further clarify this issue.

They have yet to respond to this comment.

Using email to contact Niume

The screenshot below shows a comment from Niume saying they can be contacted via support@niume.co.uk. It sounds like they'd readily reply to emails sent to this address, but I haven't tried it yet.

So far, I've read about 1 person who has gotten a response from Niume. But I've read of many more who have tried contacting Niume, but, like me, have yet to receive a reply. The screenshot above is from this post. If you look through the comments on said post, you'll see quite a number of people saying they've tried to contact Niume, but there was no reply.

What about you? Have you tried contacting Niume? Did you receive a reply?

How Niume Makes You Feel Welcome?

Niume is a writing site (also known as a collaborative blogging platform) where people can write about pretty much anything they want and earn a little bit of money from their posts.

It's free to join and very easy to create an account on Niume. The rules are pretty simple too. For instance, your articles must be written in English and it needs to have a minimum of 5 lines of text.

So, how does Niume make you feel welcome? Well, when I first joined the site, I got a message from them. Take a look at this pic:

The entire message is as follows:

Niume Blog & Support
Hi Freya, welcome to Niume!

We are a platform that gives people the chance to collaborate and share their work to connect with a huge and passionate audience of readers. In order to do so join your favourite spheres of interest and create your first post.

Also, if you have any feedback or problems using Niume send us a message here and we will answer ASAP!

P.S: if you have a twitter account send it over to us so we can tweet your posts to our large following so they can reach even more people :)

Maybe it's just something generic they send to all the new members of the site, but I like it because it gave the feeling that they cared about the people who joined Niume.

It gave the impression that the Niume admin were ready and willing to answer any questions their users might have for them, that they were there to help in case anyone needed it.

The question now is if anything on said message is actually true.

Well, on one hand, Niume does tweet your posts. I haven't sent my Twitter account to them, but I've received notifications of them having tweeted 2 of my Niume posts - this one and this one. Incidentally, these were my first 2 posts on the site.

I've joined a few spheres and I've written a few posts on the site already. Yes, there's the potential for your articles to be read by a lot of people since there are so many who are now a part of Niume.

But, let's be real here - unless you happen to get super lucky and super popular, it's very easy for your stuff to get lost there precisely because there are already so many other articles on the site.

If you're new and don't know anyone there, well, it's not really going to be easy to get a lot of readers to your posts, now, is it?

But, yes, Niume does give you the chance to connect with people. And you even have the opportunity to earn a little bit of money there. So, the first and third part of the message appear to be true.

And, yes, I'm aware that I ended up discussing the message out of order. It's intentional because the main point that really needs to be discussed is the second paragraph: "Also, if you have any feedback or problems using Niume send us a message here and we will answer ASAP!"

This was the part of the message that made me feel welcome. It reminded me of Buffer, a Twitter tweet scheduler, who says things like, "P.S. We're always around and love hearing from you. Please get in touch if you want to ask something or even just to say hello :)."

Seeing this part of the message from Niume was the reason why I didn't hesitate to send a message to them when I was having problems publishing my articles on the site. Of course, I wasn't expecting them to reply in minutes or something.

I never thought they'd never reply though.

Yes, even now, I've yet to receive a reply from them and I'm still having problems publishing my articles on the site, which is one reason why I don't post very often there. I like the site, but it's frustrating to have such a hard time posting my stuff there.

I have to publish the same thing over and over again, but it still won't show up on my profile as if I've never published it. Sigh :-(. Anyway, I'll talk more about this issue in another post.

But what about you? What do you think about Niume? Are you planning to join the site? If you're already a member, are you also having problems publishing your articles there?

As for Buffer, in my experience, they do respond to questions, but I'll talk more about that in another post.
