A few tips about posting on this board:
1) Make best use of “Location” feature when you are creating a post on this board: Add the place or location you are posting about so that Local Guides can search for information related to that location. For more information about this feature, you can check out this post.
2) Craft your headline to make it clear and attention-grabbing (get your creative juices flowing!) so that more people will read your post
3) Share pictures of the place you want to showcase:
- Pictures will always get more eyeballs than text only.
- Remember to only share pictures that you have taken yourself, post only royalty-free images or give credit to the person or organization who is responsible for any image you use from the internet
Finally, before you post to this board, we recommend you search the community. Chances are someone else has shared a similar topic or query. It makes it easier on everyone if we unify conversations and avoid duplicates. For overall guidelines on how to post in this community, please refer to this post to get more information.
