The flow of article and the way things are organized is amazing. I would be keeping this one as a reference, when I would writing one myself.
Adding pics of postman for each of the steps u described would have been icing on the cake.

Raj!!

Your comment just made my day. Thank you for your amazing suggestion.

That is totally what I wanted to do as well!!

I am a mark up language novice and I couldn't find resources that teach how to insert screenshots into dev.to blog. If you know how, please let me know. I would LOVE to incorporate your suggestion in my next blog.

Thanks again for a great feedback! :)

Great Article, Lisa!

For adding images to dev.to posts you will have an option to upload images on the edit page.

Image Option

You will have two image types - Cover (for cover image) and Body images (for the post).
Imag upload types

On successful upload you will get markdown and URL for the image - you can use either of them, just copy-paste the markdown ![alt text](url) or copy URL alone add img tag - <img src="url" alt="alt text" />

image url

That's all you need to do for adding images.
P.S. for the cover image you do not need to copy-paste, by default it will be at top of post.
