A Brief Tutorial on Facebook Image Tagging

Ahhhh, the Interwebz, that astonishing universe of bytes and pixels and memes and cat videos...

It's weird. And fun. Did we mention, "weird?" We're trying to be one of the least weird things out there, but sometimes, the platforms in question don't cooperate so well.

Case in point: we want to run some fun games that involve people tagging us in their Facebook photos of themselves (under specific legit circumstances, of course). But what seems intuitive isn't always! In order to enter people into drawings for prizes, we have to be able to see the entries. And when tagged in certain ways that appear to be logical, we can't (say, in the Location field).  #FacebookFail

So, here's what DOES work:







This will then appear where we can be sure to count it on our page.

Thanks for playing along!
