It's important to read through the formatting rules. Medium is very strict about them, and the algorithm chucks them out if they aren't according to how they want them.

Also you just clapped for 4 or 5 of my pieces. You didn't read them. They were all clapped at with seconds in between. Please don't do that.

Claps don't matter on Medium. Reads do. :) One only gets paid if people read what one writes.
