Lesson 4: Adding ART Hashtags and Icons to your Story

13.1 Now you are ready to DRAW anything over your Story on your screen. Choose from one of the various "pens" from the Top of the screen as your weapon!

Here I have chosen by tapping on the "Heavy Magic Marker".

13.2 Next select a COLOR MARKER from the bottom of your screen. You can "scroll" through a seeming endless palette of colors by "swiping" your finger from Right to Left on the color row on the bottom of the screen.

Here we have chosen a terracotta color marker (brownish-reddish-pink)

*Note: Notice that whatever color we select by tapping the color circle, the "eye dropper icon on the far left of the color row will change to the color you selected.

13.3 Using the tip of our finger on our screen, we proceed to draw a very PATHETIC FACE!! (well, as long as you get the idea!)

13.4 After this terrible exercise in "art", we click "Done" on the Top Right of the screens, knowing we still can change this later!

14. After seeing that "Face" and how pathetic our ART was, we made the wise decision to "Drag to Delete" that BAD drawing by dragging where it belongs into the bin.

Next we click on our "Sticker icon" once again to go back to our various ELEMENTS.

15. Here we tap on #Hashtag to add - you guessed it - a HASHTAG to our Story!

16.1 Immediately, we are prompted to type in our #hashtag in the Dialog Box with a flashing cursor. Type in the complete hashtag.

16.2 We can change the size of the hashtag font, and various parameters such as the PRE-SET Color Combination and the Background color of the hashtag font (not shown)

-OR-

16.3 As soon as we type in the first few characters of the hashtag, SUGGESTED HASHTAGS will appear on the screen as a time-saving tool. You can also "swipe" the Suggested Hashtag Row from right to Left to see ALL of the suggested related hashtags.

To save time, click on the hashtag of choice, i.e., in our case we chose #BOTTLEDWATER, and it immediately appeared on the screen.

We can then proceed to change the size of the hashtag font, and various parameters such as the PRE-SET Color Combination and the Background color of the hashtag font we we did before in 16.2 (not shown).

16.4 If and when you are satisfied, tap on "Done" on the top right of the screen.

When you are ready, click on "Next Page" and go to Lesson 5.
