» How do I invite friends to my Espacio Terra?
After you have created your space, uploaded photos, audios and have written your posts, you can invite your friends to see your space and create theirs as well.

"Invite your friend now". In the small window that opens, enter the names and email addresses of your friends to send them invitations.
» What's that bronze, silver and gold bar for?
The user's category bar shows what category the user is in (Bronze, Silver or Gold). The category changes automatically and improves little by little whenever a user uploads a photo, an audio, writes a post, receives a comment, a star when another user votes, or even when somebody visits the profile.
The more activity the user has in his or her profile, the more the bar raises. Users who have silver and gold status have more "status" in the community than those with bronze status. In the future there will be additional features for higher level users.

To change the design of your profile you can place a code of background or design in your Customizable Box. In order to do it, you must

Tags
» What are tags?
There are two different types of tags in Espacio Terra. User tags and content tags.
User tags are those that remain right alongside the content of the user in the profile, and these tags are terms that this person thinks are related to her - such as her hobbies, nicknames, tastes and things of that nature. Visitors can vote on these tags to confirm whether or not they are in agreement with these tags; like a game.
Content tags are labels that are added to posts, audios or photos in order to better organize them and to show them to the community. These tags are essentially labels that give their content context.
» Why should I put tags in my audios, texts and photos?
Because with tags, it is much easier for people in the community to find your content and to find out what interests you.
For example, let's say you put the tag
Summer in all your photos of beaches and in all audios you listened to during
Summer. With one click on the tag
Summer, visitors will be able to find all this content at once.
You can also put a tag of the name of one of your friends in all of the photos in which he or she appears or in all of the audio files in which his or her voice is heard. Or, perhaps, if you write about your friend, you can add the tag of his or her name, and thus you will find all the information on this friend with a single click.
The best thing is that you can add multiple tags to the same content,
separating them with commas and thus you associate that tag to several things or several different people. By browsing tags in the community, you can find friends or other users who have the same interests as you.
Groups
» What are Groups?
Groups are themes that unite various people with a common interest. Any user can create a new group or participate in one that already exists.
» How do I search for groups?
