Tags are a great way to describe your topic and make it easy for others to find your content when searching on Connect.
Once you select a category for your topic, a set of thematic tags will appear. You have to choose at least one, but you’re free to select up to five tags relevant to what you’re sharing.
Here’s a list of the tags in each category.
Tags in Connections & celebrations
- Let’s celebrate
- Introduce yourself
- In the news
- Gratitude post
Use “Let’s celebrate” to share about your Local Guides milestones, achievements, and celebrations. If you’re new here, use “Introduce Yourself” to tell us more about yourself. And if someone from the community has helped you with a question or you want to show your appreciation for another Local Guide’s efforts, “Gratitude post” is the tag to use.
