A Welcome Hand. |TRAC |I’m a guiding star| My 1st post on connect |

Un accueil pour se connecter à la main

Traduit de la langue originale (en) par Google

Bienvenue sur le nouveau forum de connexion amélioré. Bienvenue sur la plateforme officielle des guides locaux où nous nous connectons. J’ai déjà rédigé une carte de bienvenue et j’en ai souvent offert une aux guides locaux. J’écris maintenant ce sujet comme une main tendue. C’est une main amicale et accueillante, une main tendue avec amitié et amour. J’espère que tous les guides locaux se sentiront les bienvenus et recevront une bonne poignée de main.
Ce sujet de bienvenue pour se connecter est destiné à :

Montrez-vous autour de vous connecter
Donnez une brève orientation sur la connexion.
Inspirez votre séjour sur connect
Guidez vos interactions sur connect
Vous aider à aimer et à utiliser Connect
…et vous aide à rester connecté sur Connect.
En tant que guides locaux, nous sommes souvent tellement motivés et enthousiastes que nous oublions ou oublions les règles et directives pour participer. Le programme des guides locaux est régi par des règles et des règlements. Connect est également régi par des règles et des règlements. Il est essentiel d’apprendre à utiliser le forum avant de commencer. Il est également important de connaître les règles du jeu avant de commencer. Cela permettra d’éviter les embarras et les difficultés. Connaître et suivre les règles rend l’expérience agréable. En tant qu’utilisateur ou nouvel utilisateur de Connect, que dois-je faire ou où dois-je aller ? Je suis nouveau ici, quelqu’un peut-il m’aider ? J’ai besoin d’écrire un nouveau sujet ou de commenter un sujet ? Le forum est encore tout nouveau, mais je peux partager quelques conseils et liens vers des messages utiles pour une utilisation optimale. Cliquez simplement sur les liens et lisez-les. La première page à consulter est en bas de la page d’accueil de Connect.

Commencer !!!
Après avoir suivi ces tutoriels, vous devriez être prêt à vous connecter en tant que guide local. Je partagerai néanmoins quelques liens utiles. Veuillez noter que le terme « publication » désigne désormais un sujet sur le nouveau forum Connect amélioré. Comment rédiger un sujet sur Connect ? Nous proposons différents sujets acceptables, mais d’autres non. Parmi ceux-ci, on trouve des sujets liés à Google Maps et au programme des guides locaux, des sujets sur la gastronomie et d’autres sujets locaux pertinents pour nous. Pour créer un sujet, il vous faut un titre, puis écrire. Pour cela, vous verrez l’icône « créer » avec un petit stylo. Nouveau sujet et nouvelle rencontre. Mon sujet est la solution. Vous verrez alors apparaître de nombreux autres éléments, comme des étiquettes et des catégories.

Nous avons essentiellement [quatre catégories]( https://four categories ) et une multitude d’autres balises parmi lesquelles choisir. Un Googleur a écrit ici : Connecter les balises et comment les utiliser. Veuillez consulter le lien ci-dessus. Il est très utile. Les quatre catégories sont :
Connexions et célébrations.
Histoires de contributions de Google Maps.
Conseils et astuces Google Maps
