Hi, Community!
Today there are two main settings for your email notification subscriptions.
1. Subscribe to all new posts, all comments, all answers
You can do it in your subscription settings in the Content Types. Click on My Account, go to Subscriptions and click on Content types tab:
In this case, you'll get only one notification for every new article or question posted on DC and every answer and comment if you checked this option.
Here are some recipes with this option.
1. Receive all the new posts notifications (without answers and comments in it):
Turn on Post checkbox.
When posts are displayed on the DC homepage they only show the first part of each post. This part is known as the teaser, or the trimmed version. The DC software does its best, but without being given any hint by you it can sometimes produce teasers that are of limited value, e.g. "Hi!"
When composing your post, the Preview button lets you see what the teaser will look like. For example, here's the preview of an initial version of this post:

Today DC supports the notifications for the posts' updates. It means if someone changes the post text, title, group or tag you can be notified about that.
But this notifications just inform that there were updates, but do not show what exactly was changed in the post.

I would suggest to turn off this types of notifications until we'll implement the details in notifications, what exactly was changed in the post and why did you get it.
First, register to make postings.
Here is the short gif which demonstrates how to post, paste text from Word, make COS highlighting and put Group and tag.

Hi, Community!
We've updated Developer Community (DC) portal and here are some good news.
Now you can insert in your post highlighted parts of code. It works with help of highlight.js library.
To illustrate it I took some code snippets from Fabian's article.
as described in How to post an article from Word or Google Docs, you can use the Paste from Word button to paste content you have copied from a Word or Google Docs document into a Developer Community post.
this worked well for me pasting from Word 10 documents, and retained most (though not all) of my Word formatting. i did have one problem, however, and wanted to pass on my workaround.
