@davidallengreen @morfydd Ensuring you have capitals in CompoundWord #HashTags helps them too, I believe.

@nowster @davidallengreen @morfydd it’s called Camel Case, popular with unix users over the years, and makes hashtags much more accessible - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_case

Start the #hashTag with lower case, but use upper case for the first letter of each new word.

@witewulf @nowster @davidallengreen @morfydd I didn't know one is supposed to start the hashtag in lower case. Could you explain why please?

@Sarahw sorry, that was poorly worded on my part. There’s absolutely no reason why you should start with lower case in a hashtag on here.

But in the computing/programming practice of camelCase it’s often common to start with lowercase. It’s very much a personal preference thing, though, with no official standard.

@witewulf thanks for that, I'm very happy that I can start with a capital letter. I'd not do so if it made things easier for folk, but it offended my sense of order 😊
