How do I post a link?

How can I post just a link, without posting content? I see people have done that, but I can't figure out how.

    It also says me " You can't post a link yet" What is the solution of it?

    On the Create a POST page you have a text box with two tabs. One says TEXT the other says, Link. Click the link tab and insert your link!

      My text box does not have two tabs.

      Here's how it looks: https://imgur.com/SUEkSgm

        It's 20 points you need, but today is your lucky day! I've just upvoted some of your stuff so you should now be able to do that! 🎉

          Hahahaha Rosie - you're the best and most supportive community manager! Thank you. This made my day.

          Now, before I post, and while I have you here - am I allowed to post a link to one of my own blog posts, even if it's about my own product, if I believe it can truly help others with their indie project?

            You can post anything you like. People often post to their own things.

            The more useful and relevant it is to the community the more eyeballs and clicks it will end up getting.

              Great - thank you!

        I'm looking into this for you. It should be an option after you have 10 points, I think.

      You have to have 10 points before you can post a link apparently.

    It might be a browser issue. Which browser are you using? I'm on chrome and i have two tabs.

      I'm in Chrome as well, on my desktop. How does it look for you? Can you take a screenshot?

          Problem solved. See the post from Rosie Sherry.
