Attaching an article, video, podcast, meme, et cetera, as part of your post is always a good idea, but remember that you will need to write sufficient text in the post to meet the required point total for the post. Points will not be earned for merely attaching the resource and submitting a post without any descriptive text.
Note: Do not create your post as a reply to the pinned post. Instead, use Yellowdig’s Create option to create a new post.
