HOW TO USE HASHTAGS IN NORTHEAST OHIO ROCKS!

• Be specific. Choose a hashtag for your entire household and continue to use that same specific hashtag. Don’t make your family hashtag specific to the rock. Don’t make multiple specific hashtags. Make it specific to your family/household. You won’t have to remember multiple hashtags when searching for your rocks.

•Please do not use first names of children. You may use your last name. If you need help coming up with a hashtag, check messenger for your assigned @ name.

•Please do not use your ZIP code or phone number. Many people live within the same ZIP code. A hashtag with a child’s name, zip code or other identifying information on a child’s picture will be deleted. Keep hashtags safe. Your family hashtag should be unique, a little quirky but not overly clever. Keep them fun and simple.

•In keeping with the “rock” theme in all the “rock” groups within the United States and our group please end your hashtag with “rocks”

•Please use the group hashtag as well #northeastohiorocks

•You may use a hashtag that describes your rock. Please keep it specific to the rock. Do not use your name, group name or rocks in your hashtag. This is necessary for search purposes. For instance, if you wanted to find “minions,” you could search minions in the group search box or your could search hashtag minions in the Facebook search box. Keep these hashtags very simple. They work best.

•Until a new label is created, you may write your specific family hashtag on the back of your rock so the finder knows your hashtag. No need for the rock description hashtag on the rock.

•Prior to creating your specific Northeast Ohio Rocks! hashtag, please search Facebook and Google to be sure that the hashtag isn’t already being used.
