The Dos and Don'ts of Instagramming Your Vacation

Using Instagram's geotag and hashtag features are an awesome way to help others plan their next trip, gain followers, and keep people updated about your adventures. But there are a few rules to follow.

Don't:

• Humblebrag with your geotag — it's awesome that you're staying at the Ritz, but it's much more interesting (and less show-offish) to geotag the restaurant where you're eating.
• Use too many hashtags — a massive block of hashtags is annoying for everyone who follows you. Do you really need #vegan #follow4follow #blessed on a picture of your sandals? NOPE.
• Geotag where you are at that moment — if you've got a public account, tagging yourself in a location while you're still there can be pretty unsafe. Do it after the fact, because you don't know who else is around, looking, and being creepy.
