I just might do that Erika. I’m lacking suitable information on many of my possible seven day entries but I have just found what I need for an entry. I will return. 👉
Please do! :)
All done Erika. Do I have to put the link to my entry anywhere?
No, you don't have to but you can post it if you want to, just make sure you use both official tags, otherwise your entry can't be considered valid.
I'm pretty sure I used both tags but will check it shortly.
Yay finally contest is open
Thanks @photocircle..

Hi, @erikah, @photocircle and all steemians friends. Caracas, the Venezuela' capital city which turned 451 years recently, is a complicated been, so I prepared a complicated but easy to use guide which I wish help you to understand it. That is my entry to #pc-explore, a very important contest.

I just saw your post and was not clear it is for the contest. Please read the rules again, you have them in one of my latest post. This unfortunate does not qualify. Does not match either of the themes.
Woohoo new tag and cool new fun @photocircle! & @erikah!
Thank you to everyone who helps this all grow! 👍
Just made use of the cool new tag and the awesome
new banner, much thanks! ❤ :-)
Congratulations @photocircle and @erikah, exitos!!!
Thank you!
This is another interesting concept @photocircle!! Congrats i cannot wait to tag my pictures.. thank you!
On the previous post you mentioned:
Does this mean we just use the tags, and no special place to drop a link to the post we created?
I believe that is correct @bashadow!
Thank you. I am working on one, and wanted to make sure I did not need to post a link, just do my post and all is good. Thanks.
I just made a post with my understanding of the rules. I'll let you know if I learn more, but I think all you need to do is use both tags.
The #pc-explore is a unique tag for this contest. We will be able to find your post using it. But if wish to, you may drop the link in reply to this comment. Looking forward to your entry @bashadow :)
Got it melinda's comments help, and I have it posted.
very nice
Would this entry qualify for your fine contest?
