Hi GLOBO's
You joined and enjoyed our community so far uploaded probably some pics and comments... Now you made up your mind that you want to share some travel experiences with us and tell us what places you have been to, great!
Probably you have been influenced by reading great reports of your fellow members and want to do as well as others. (If not please go to the reports sections and read a few of the top rated reports in order to get the feeling of what is liked)
Here is how the experienced GLOBOsapiens report writers do it!
Some useful guidance for report creating:
1
Write your reports in a word processor format – have a template made with the GLOBO headings on your word processor and then write them up on the word processor.
Please do also stick to the minimum and maximum character amount for each part.
Use the spelling and gramar checker in your word processor to eliminate the most terrible language errors.
Now to the uploading process:
2
Chose the city that you write your report about.
If it is not on the list you can inform GLOBOstaff about that like described here:
Chose the Language you wrote the report in (most common is english)
3
put in the report title
As you are about to file your GLOBO report – put as the title (you can change it later)
*****UNDER CONSTRUCTION *****DO NOT VOTE YET*****
4
Then proceed to cut and paste the first 4 sections:
(Introduction, General Description, Favourite Spots, What did you like special)
5
click on next button
6
Cut and paste the next 6 sections of your report
(What are your recommendations? Please fill out at least two fields)
Keep in mind that only those sections with content will be available for later editing and adding images.
7
click on the preview button
check you posted text content and click on save.
8
Now you can add the photos with their captions. And adjst the alingnment
9
Click on exit and resize pictures
10
Recheck your report now in detail. Decide how you like the look and feel of your report. You can now finalize your report. If you want to create paragraphs you can do it now. Once done and happy with your report you can change the title to the final setting.
11
Click on edit article button
12
Now you can edit all text and images.
If you want to add paragraphs to your text cut and paste the text from the edit text box to a word editor and create the paragraphs and recut and paste it to GLOBOsapiens.
13
Finally delete the UNDER CONSTRUCTION bit replacing it with the TITLE.

Hi GLOBO's
Here is the GLOBOsapiens report structure with the comments and character lenghts...
Report Title: (Please fill in between 10 and 50 characters)
Please choose a unique title for your report. Do not use only the city as a title because other members might write a report about this city too. This would make it difficult to pick the proper report for the other members.
This title will be included in the report section and will help other members to make a choice between the available reports.
Introduction: (Please fill in between 150 and 255 characters)
General description: (Please fill in between 150 and 2000 characters)
You can write in this general section about the main things in your report. Similar to an introduction.
Please include the city name inside this text. This will allow our internal search engine to list your report.
Favourite spots: (Please fill in between 50 and 1000 characters)
What did you like special: (Please fill in between 50 and 1000 characters)
What are your recommendations for “*****”?
Please fill out at least two fields
Accommodations: (1000 characters maximum.)
Clubs: (1000 characters maximum.)
Pubs: (1000 characters maximum.)
Restaurants: (1000 characters maximum.)
Sights: (1000 characters maximum.)
Other spots: (1000 characters maximum.)
Hope this helps
Martin
