How it Works

All the content on lookabootye is created by a combination of users and our staff. All users are welcome to post comments, stories, images, blog posts and more.

Tags

Content is organised around tags (think keywords), so you'll always find what you're looking for. Some tags, like community and topic, are created by lookabootye. Every time you post content, you'll be asked to select a relevant community (where the restaurant is, what part of the county your post talks about, where you live). You'll also be asked to chose which broad topic your post applies to- like Food and Drink, or Music.

Then you'll be able to create as many tags as you would like. Tags help other people find your content, so it's best to be as specific as possible. Let's say for example you're making a blog post about a new shop,The Devon Deli. You'd select say "Menstrie" for the community, "Food and Drink" and "Shopping" for the topics, and then add some descriptive tags to help people find your post. You'd start with the name of the new shop, The Devon Deli, and add tags like baking, bread, pasta and produce. Your post will automatically display whenever someone searches for any of those tags.

Content Types

When you are ready to share your content with the site, you must first decide which content type to use: article, blog, event listing or forum topic.

Article is a content type best suited for an interview or a story. You can upload an image that corresponds to your article, create a subtitle, and offer any relevant disclosures (for example, if you write a rave review of the restaurant your brother owns, you owe it to the community to disclose that). Articles show up at the top of the homepage, and the top of all the tag pages.

Blog posts are great for when you want write a quick review, share your opinion, or link to another page and add your commentary. You can link to images hosted elsewhere in blog posts.

Forum topics are best suited to asking questions of the Lookabootye community, short announcements, and technical help. If you think you've encountered a bug or an error, the forums are the place to report it and get help.

Event listings are for events! Be sure to fill out the complete address so it can be featured correctly. Event listings are displayed on the home page and tag pages, so be sure to add helpful tags.

You maintain ownership and control of all your content, so don't be afraid to start sharing!
