Creating a Quick Post
A quick post is a post for sharing quickly with photos and short text. Use it when you want to casually post scenery or a spot you found during a trip.
Choosing the Post Type
Tap “Create” at the bottom of the screen.
A screen for choosing the post type opens; choose Quick Post here.
| Type | Difference |
|---|---|
| Route Article | A full-fledged article made with a map, text, and photos. See Creating a route article |
| Quick Post | A quick post with short text and photos. Explained on this page |
| Gadget Info | A gear review. See Creating gadget info |
The Editor’s Structure
There are two tabs: “Post Content” and “Geographic Info.” Entering geographic information is optional.
Writing Text
You cannot use headings or lists like in a route article. You can only use bold, italic, links, and map links, since it is intended for short text.
Adding Photos
You can add up to 10 photos in the image slider, and switch between them by swiping sideways. You can add a map link to each photo to tie it to a spot or line in the geographic information.
A photo with a map link gets a map mark at the bottom right on the published screen. When a reader taps the photo, the map opens too, instantly conveying “where is this photo?”
Adding Geographic Information
When you set a spot, your post is tied to that place and can also be found via map search. You cannot design complex routes like in a route article.
Tags and Publishing
Tags
Adding tags makes your post easier to find from tag pages and search.
- Up to 10 per post
- Up to 15 characters per tag
Enter a tag name and “Add” to register it, and tap a tag to remove it.
Publishing
Tap “Update” to publish. You can also save it as a draft. You can open published quick posts from “Created content” on My Page, and drafts from “Drafts.”
The thumbnail is chosen automatically from the images included in the post. There is no manual setting.
After Publishing: Share with a Location Image
If you register an image to a spot in the geographic information, you can generate and share a location image after publishing. Start from the photo icon on the post card. For details, see Generating a location image.
