What does show my location mean?
If you select to show your location and are posting from a device equipped with geo-tagging (such as an iPhone), a link to your location will appear in your published post.

Why am I being asked to verify my post?
Different email providers offer different levels of security. To ensure that you were the one trying to post to your site, we sometimes require a verification. To verify your post, just reply to the email you receive. You do not need to include a body or subject line.
If you would like to avoid this step, you may want to consider using an email provider with added security such as gmail or yahoo.
