The 5 steps to post to the feed.
- Local Area Network (LAN) – Typically, the system automatically defaults to the correct LAN. Some advertisers and contributors have access to post to multiple LAN’s. In this case, the pull-down menu will contain a list of LAN’s you are approved for; simply choose the appropriate one.
- Heading – This headline describing what the post is about. Your heading can be up to 200 characters long.
- Message Box – this is where the body of your Feed Post is entered. There is no character limit here however don’t go longer than needed. User’s may not read the entire post if it is too long.
To add a link in your post type the full URL of the website. For example: https://www.localproject.net. The http:// is required to create an active link within the post.
