All of the categories have the ability to upload a picture. For this, you will see the "Upload Image" icon.

After you’ve uploaded the video and before you press “Upload & Share”, you’ll have a possibility to share it either to Facebook, YouTube or both!

Tags:

The tagging feature of Fashion Potluck is different in its creation form than what you find in other social media platforms. All you to do is type in the field of "add tags", create whatever terms you like (you can use spaces), and click "Enter" to create/activate the tag. You can create as many tags as you would like per post. However, we would suggest maybe not to go overboard.

Voting on taking posts down:

Fashion Potluck was created with the purpose of giving a space where women can express themselves about fashion and lifestyle. It is for you, your channel. As such, you can vote to have a post removed in case of it being offensive or in case of the post not fitting the topics of fashion, beauty, travel, food, and lifestyle. If you are in the home page or in a specific category, in every post made, there are the three dots ( ... ) menu. If you click on it, a dialog box will appear. Within it you can choose what type of inappropriate content you judge this to be: "Offensive content" or "Does not fit the site's content profile.
