Tell posting from sharing
Pass somebody else’s post along without it reading as your own.
Posting puts your own words up. Sharing takes something already posted and passes it on.
A shared post keeps the original writer’s name on it, so everyone sees where it came from.
Key points
- Posting publishes your own words; sharing passes on somebody else’s
- A shared post keeps the original writer’s name attached
What to remember
- Share keeps the source. Posting starts from blank.
- Share carries the name with it.
