Labels

Don't forget to add labels to help you and others find posts on a person, topic or place. 

Length of a Post

Posts are on one person one event one time. There might be a group of people at the event. But make each post about one thing. 

Make it short. It is not a novel. Not even a chapter of a novel. 

If the story you want to share is too long divide it into two posts. Add a link at the bottom which will automatically take them to the next post.
