Travel and Advice post

Hello  Every time i login  my local guides connect  i feel i am not doing justice to my account i can do so much and i have so much to share but being a little outdated i am unable to do same. I want to blog every week about the places where i have travelled,stayed and had food. As i go everywhere after good research. i travel alot. Can anyone forward me a link from which i can understand 1) how can i use my google photos in local guides connect.2) where can i update places if the heading is not mentioned in add a missing place.for example for adding local farmers market of sundays no option is availble.3) how many photos can i add in one post and how to reduce its size.

Thanks and Regards

Re: Travel and Advice post

Hi @Ritusaketverma thanks for asking your questions, let me answer them one at a time...

 

1. We'd love you to blog each week into the Shared Photos & Discoveries board about your travels with a photo or two per post.

2. Transient businesses such as farmers markets that are not regularly there are not to be added to Maps, a business needs to be in a place for at least two weeks for it to be eligible for Maps - you can find out more about what you should and should not contribute here https://support.google.com/contributionpolicy/answer/7400113

3. There is no limit to the number of photos that you can add in any one post, however, you do have a limit of 1,000 photos allowed in Connect so make sure you use your allocation wisely. This allocation cannot be extended. Using external photo sources isn't allowed to ensure that all content can be properly moderated and to protect the privacy of the Local Guides in Connect as external hosting opens the door to tracking people. There is some great advice on using photos in Connect on this post https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/Help-Desk/Tips-for-Uploading-Images-to-Connect-to-Stay-Within-...
