What's a hashtag? #gpartstrail2014

The official hashtag for this event is:
 

"What's a hashtag? What's it for?"  I hear you ask..
 
A hashtag is a searchable link that you can use across many Social Media networks and platforms - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, blogfeeds...
to find a topic of interest to you, and all posts, photos, comments etc that people have made with that tag attached.  It is like a marker that you can use to track an event, an interest, a topic, or what ever you'd like other people to find if they search for it.
 
Anyone can make and include a hashtag and they can include numbers and letters, but no punctuation marks - just remember to start it with # and don't use any spaces in the words that follow, for example..
#GoldenPlainsShire    #GPArtsInc    #AustralianArtsEvents
(I just made that last one up now - woohoo)
Why not try searching our official hashtag for the Arts Trail when you are next in Facebook, Twitter etc., and don't forget to add it to YOUR photos, comments, post, questions etc. too, to join in the conversation.
