Guide For New Members On Local Guides Connect

Hello and Welcome to some few guides to know what is happening around your community and communities all over the world.

  1. When you log into connect for the first time, try to click your location here as shown in the picture below to get access to what is happening around your community, i recommend this because you can find very interesting topics you might have missed in the past or present, turning on that feature would allow you see interesting topics from within your community

  2. Secondly If you want to see other interesting topics from all over the world, you can go back to the My Location optioned i encircled below to also turn the feature on and see interesting topics from different parts of the continents.

  3. If you are a new Local Guide on connect, don’t be quick to post anything, first explore the forum firstly, after exploring the forum and you have known how the forum works i suggest you can now post. Your first post should actually be your Introduction(its a suggestion). Every new month there is always a thread for Introduction, so if you are a newbie, trying searching for the month you registered in to be part of connect. For example if you registered this May try searching for Introduce Yourself May You will find below the encircled search option of how to do that.

  4. After Introducing yourself you can now always post to different boards across the platform.You can find below screenshots of different boards you can see eye catching topics and posts you too can actually make.

  5. I believe after following this few steps, from a newbie on connect you can be an expert. :D. and also these are guides you can be sure to see great tips from the Google moderators here on number 6 :

  6. Tips Using Local Guides Connect

  7. And also don’t forget to use the @ mention button to reply to a local guide you might be making a reference to. You can also use the @ button to mention all google moderators and everyone here on connect when facing a problem and need a solution to it. In order ways the @ button is a call upon button.

    I hope this helps article helps you to get the best out of Connect,

    Best Regards and Happy Guiding

Great work @HelloSamsonR to give both newcomers and experienced LGC users a visual indication of how to explore the forums. I know not many people would like to read a wall of numbered lists and text but having new pictures always helps! Maybe a video might help hehehe!

@Briggs Thanks for Feedback bro, concerning the video, I thought of that but after serious thought i felt some people might not want to waste too much data watching a video and some might not have Youtube accounts so i decided to use pictures for easy representation, so even if you don’t want to waste much time reading, you can actually view the pictures as a guide.
