3. Verify your account

💡Why is it important? Verifying your account gives you access to all the Panodyssey features, including publishing.

Once your account is verified, you will be able to:

- Publish your work;

- Write comments;

We implementend that step to ensure our social media remains a safe space where members can trust one another. Verified accounts keep unethical behaviours – such as trolling – away. This system also allows content creators to protect their work by tying each article to their account. Panodyssey prevents plagiarism and protects the intellectual property rights of its members.

No worries, we won't store your personal data.

4. Set up your first Creative Room

It's time to set up your first Creative Room to highlight your articles. On Panodyssey, content creators publish their work in Creative Rooms, which are thematic spaces where they can classify their articles.

💡Why is it important? Unlike other social media platforms, the content published on Panodyssey remains visible: readers can access it within the platform itself, but also from outside, which gives the content creators' work a great reach.

So get your hands dirty : fill the description field of your Creative Room and pick a nice picture to illustrate it!

👉 To learn more about the Creative Rooms, you can check our main FAQ (available soon).

1. Go to your account and set up a new Creative Room.

2. Choose a title for your Creative Room and describe its content or topic in a few words. The more precise is the description, the more attractive your articles will be to your readers.

3. Pick a nice picture to illustrate your Creative Room. This visual is the first thing your readers will see. It needs to catch their attention and introduce them to your universe, so choose it right!

Once your Creative Room is ready to be shared with the world, click on "Save changes".

5. Create an article

You have done most of the work! Now, let your creative mind take over and publish your first article!

1. Click on "New article", or go to your Creative Room and click on "Write the first article".

2. Give your article a title, write your texte and format it, and last but lot least, pick a nice picture.

3. Once the progress bar is green, click on "Publish".
