Hello!!

Local Guides.

:older_woman: ‍:blonde_man:‍ :older_man: ‍ :man_with_gua_pi_mao:

In this post, I share some important options with you.:smiling_face:

We Publish Many Posts under different topics.

And also gives our ideas to development of local guides program. :+1:

We choose topic of our Post’s content and after that we publish them.

For Making and Publishing of post , during this we follow some mechanism.

Like

(1) Choose a Topic.

(2) Write our content, Attach our Photos and Videos.

(3) Additional Topics.

Add tags.

(4) Add Languages.

(1) &(2) many Local Guides know about that.

But (3) &(4), I think Few are knows it properly.

Recently my focus goes on to these things.

I will gives boost to local guides, for using of Specially Additional Topics.

However, I use Tags In Every Posts.

And still this date I have not add any Language to my post.

I will like to Publish posts In English. :hugs:

Let’s come to the topics.

(3) Additional Topics(+Tags)

After our Content Writting Completed in dialogue box, below this you see.

Additional Topics :nerd_face: are available.

When we need to tag any Local guide we use the @ for tagging.

Here you need to Click on + button and choose your Related tags.

But here you tag Additional Topics!!

Like non -Leaving things. :wink:

You Consider Additional topics as Subtopics of your post. :sunglasses:

You just need to click on Add tags and you see many tags are available.

You Only Choose 4 tags. :slightly_frowning_face:

Yes, it’s Limitation. Remember this.

Here, I write all the tags.

Let’s Look out. :cowboy_hat_face:

  1. Photography
  2. Travel
  3. Food & Drink
  4. Local Stories
  5. Meet-ups

Don’t Confused that first 6 topics are already available.

Why They Repeat?.
No, when if you choose food&drink as topic of the post, you can’t able to see Food&drink as an additional topic, because it’s already your topic.

So, clear this Confusion.

We also know about featured posts.
If you don’t know, ok.
I give your answers.

When your Published post Looks Like helpful &useful to Local guides Community, then connect features your post relevant to your topic.

And every topics have 4 featured posts. And they are appear as on top posts.

Hey @KishorMali

You really took a lot of efforts to write these long posts. I appreciate your efforts.

Most of the points you covered are well known by me. Moreover, thank you for taking efforts.

I guess i will (not sure) come foreword with a post on Travel Board. Not sure about the tags may be i’ll use Activities, Things to do.

Wanderlust is genetic to me. I like to travel but i love to read posts from every topics.

I can speak Hindi, English and Maithili and can understand ( not so fluent speaker) cantonese, Urdu and French. So, there isn’t a ‘so called’ favourite language of mine.

@VinayKrishna

Thanks for your Beautiful thoughts for me.

However, I just try to give some boost to local guides, to use additional topics. Some local guides uses them. Some are not.(mainly new comers)

Thanks for your answering my questions and also sharing your wonderful details.

I speaks Languages Like Hindi, English, Gujarati, marathi(basic level), Sanskrit(basic).

But I also try to learn telugu, tamil and Malayalam.

Amazing fact about me I like to listen Telegu songs.

You must try.

I hope you also like telegu.

And it’s my favorite listening language.
