The no photo thing is according to Medium's guidelines for what qualifies as Short Form, not my rules. But I think there is a work around for it. Gregory Prince wrote an aritcle about it in Everything Short Form.

I don't bother with photos though since Short Form is only 150 words.

And I made everyone in this Pub an editor so I don't have approve or edit anything. Again, mainly because these are only 150 words.
