==How to get your Makes featured==
To give the best Maker Party outputs the attention they deserve, whether these Makes are created on Popcorn, Thimble or XRay Goggles, our [http://bit.ly/19kGPo8 Content Team] will crawl through the Maker Party world each day to find the next best thing — so if you or one of your constituents have something you'd like us to share with a wide and diverse set of audiences, get our attention on Twitter using the [https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=%23makerparty #makerparty].
Another tip for getting content featured on the homepage is to give it some relevant tags so others can better find it.
* In Popcorn Maker, go to the 'Project' tab after saving your project and notice the field at the bottom that asks for tags. Separate them with a comma (no spaces) with things that help identify your project, i.e. cats,texas,cowboy,hilarious
* On Thimble, you can add a special meta tag between the <head> </head> section of your webpage that adds them to the webmaker.org search engine. Make sure you have one line for each tag. It should look something like this:
** <meta content="cats" name="webmaker:tags">
** <meta content="texas" name="webmaker:tags">
** <meta content="cowboy" name="webmaker:tags">
** <meta content="hilarious" name="webmaker:tags">
<br />
Also keep in mind that the team is especially keen on featuring Makes which are "irresistibly remixable" to others using the site.
