I signed up for Steemit about 2-3 weeks ago. I finally completed my first PIZZAGATE article / piece of investigative journalism after long hours of formatting on Steemit. When I hit the "post" button, I am getting the error message you can see in the video - https://dtube.video/v/elizabethrussell/fe2x6nxz
I've never posted anything before, I've only commented once and upvoted 3 times until yesterday over the past few weeks before this happened. All I have done has been formatting my article a few hours per day the past week or two in the editing box. Does anyone know when I will be able to post my first article or why this is happening? I've tried from 2 different computers over the past 24 hours and later at the library in a different part of town.
Am I being censored? It also has a lot of photos - but the post is under 64,000 max character limit - Is the file too large?This is extremely discouraging because since it is in Steemit format / Markdown I can't just post it at my blog right away because I will have to spend hours reformatting it, re-uploading pictures, etc. And I can't earn cryptocurrency on my blog. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think I spotted an issue (don't know if it's THE issue, though)
You don't need the <br /> for breaks; just hitting enter will give them to you and you can verify the spacing via the preview below the editing window. I don't know if it's the broken formatting (shouldn't have a space between the br and /) that would trigger the error you got, but it's worth trying.
If it doesn't work after that, I'd ask one of the Witnesses; they are the ones taking care of the blockchain and maybe could identify what's going on. I don't think it's a censorship issue, despite steemit housed on Amazon's servers and Amazon was paid very well by the CIA...

Thank you so much. I took out all the break tags and cleaned up the coding and it still won't go through.

Thank you so much! Some good things to check and think about.
