Share businesses, events and community resources

Share a business or event

1. Open Browse and select a business, or open Events and select an event. Weekend, family, free-event and business networking planners also support sharing.
2. On the business profile, select Share this business below the save/correction controls. On an event detail page, select Share this event near the calendar button. On a planner, select Share this planner below the introduction.
3. Select Copy link for the public address or Copy message for a short introduction plus that address.
4. Wait for the copied confirmation, then paste into your preferred app. Edit the message and review its destination before sending or publishing it yourself.

The sharing panel starts collapsed. It requires no account, stores no recipient list and has no saved settings. Links use the public page address and leave out the current browser's query parameters and fragments. Sharing a planner shares its continuously updated collection, rather than a frozen list of dates. Inactive business profiles do not display the sharing panel.

Use your device's sharing menu

1. Expand the sharing panel.
2. Select Share with an app.
3. If your browser supports device sharing, select an app or destination and complete that app's steps. You can cancel the menu.
4. If device sharing is unavailable, copy the link from the displayed text field. Selecting the field selects its contents; use your device's copy command.

The site can confirm a handoff to your sharing app. Check that app for whether a message was sent or a post was published. Cancelling the menu does not copy a link or send anything.

Find resources for your community

1. Select Share Local Resources in the footer, or open Resources and select Open the community resource kit.
2. Select Choose a local resource to reach the six resource cards: weekend events, family events, free events, business networking, local services and moving to Southeast Texas.
3. Select a card's title to review the resource, or expand Share this resource to use its copy and sharing controls.
4. For an event collection, select its Open … RSS feed link. Copy the feed address into your RSS reader's add-feed control. Your reader controls refresh timing. See event planners and feeds for details.

Add a resource link to your website

1. Open the community resource kit and expand Share this resource on the desired card.
2. Select Copy website link. This copies a plain HTML link with the resource title as its text.
3. In your website editor, add an HTML, Embed or Custom code block, then paste the HTML. For an ordinary text editor, use Copy link and the editor's insert-link control instead.
4. Preview the website. Click the resource title and confirm it opens the intended directory page. The copied HTML opens in the current tab by default.
5. Publish through your website editor when ready.

These are optional resource links. Business owners with approved claims can also use their website badge. The resource kit's link does not display an ownership badge or establish a partnership.

Troubleshooting

• The browser blocks copying. The text appears in a labeled, read-only field. Select it and use Ctrl+C, Command+C or your device's Copy command. Then paste it where needed.
• The share menu does not appear. Some browsers and devices do not offer device sharing. Copy the displayed link instead.
• JavaScript is disabled. Expand the panel and use your browser's link menu to copy the visible public address. Copy buttons and device sharing need JavaScript.
• My website shows HTML as text. Use an HTML/custom-code block, or use Copy link with the editor's ordinary link control.
• The event list has changed since I shared it. Planners show current published upcoming events. Share an individual event's detail link when you mean one specific event, and confirm changes with the organizer.
• A business detail needs updating. Use Suggest a correction on the public profile, or manage your listing after ownership approval. Review the updated profile before sharing.
