Description

  • this is a required field, and your Listing will not save if you leave it blank
  • you can use the basic editor to format your text, if you have any problems let me know I am happy to tidy it up for you
  • if you hover over the grey triangle in the bottom right corner and drag it you can make the editing box bigger for easier use
  • Heading 3 will give you a BLUE heading in the published page, but it will still look black in the editor itself

Video

  • you can add a link to a video in this box
  • videos can be a great way to show potential renters your space
  • they don’t have to be professionally made, try creating one on your phone, it just needs to be a good resolution and have clear audio
  • keep them short, 1-3 minutes is generally recommended for a website

UPDATE BEFORE you add images

  • if you’ve made other edits update your Listing BEFORE adding the images, and if you have several add and save one at a time. When the editor gets stuck it is generally because it’s grinding through several large images at once.
  • there is an UPDATE button at the bottom of the page
  • after you click UPDATE it will take you to the PREVIEW screen, to return to the editor, click the BLUE EDIT button at the bottom of the screen
  • each time you UPDATE you will be taken to the PREVIEW screen
