Site feature spotlight: Contribute your own property overview text!

Hello, and welcome! Now that our new site features have had time to settle in, here's the first 'how-to' installment I promised. We'll be covering the property "Overview" text editing feature.

That's right -- ordinary folks like yourself (ok, "extraordinary") can now contribute to the text that appears on each of our property pages. We encourage site visitors who have first-hand knowledge of a particular hotel to adjust the text. Has your favorite hotel added a new amenity since your last trip? Did they change names? Well, here's your chance to let the world know.

From the "overview" section, just click the 'edit' link at the bottom of the text block. You'll be asked to sign-in or create a new account -- free!

Once you're in, you'll see an editor window. We show you the existing text at the top, then re-print it in the edit box. Type, type, type away to your hearts content. When you're done, submit the form.

The page will reload, and you'll see your edits live! Now, the changes you just made aren't 'official' until they've been looked over by our staff. But, that process is usually a short one, and the rest of the world is likely to see your masterpiece in 48 hours.

See? Wasn't that easy?! :D
