    Creating and scheduling a post

    Navigate to [https://hootsuite.com/dashboard](https://hootsuite.com/dashboard) and login using the credentials in 1Password.
    Click here.
    Click the "Select a social account" field.
    Select all the accounts you want to post to.
    Write your post in the [[INITIAL CONTENT]] tab. Any text & images you put in this tab will be carried over to the other social media tabs.
    Click the social media tabs to edit the post for specific social media platforms. For example, you might have to shorten the initial content for Twitter, which has a much shorter character limit than Facebook or LinkedIn.
    Notice the preview pane on the right side: you can preview what your post will look like on each platform here before you post.
    Click here to see what it would look like on LinkedIn.
    Note that you *can not* tag individuals in posts for LinkedIn using Hootsuite. Only companies. If you wish to tag an individual, post from LinkedIn directly.
    Click here to edit your post for Twitter.
    In the [[INITIAL CONTENT]] tab, don't forget to add any images you'd want to appear on all social media platforms.
    For EACH platform, don't forget to write alt text for every image you upload. This is crucial for accessibility and serving users who use screen readers. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.
    When you're ready to post, either click [[POST NOW]] or [[SCHEDULE FOR LATER]]
