| |
− | | |
− | [[Swaggie]]s are free.
| |
− | There is no requirement to purchase 'dog tags'.
| |
− | When you list a [[swaggie]] you will be prompted for a name and password. The password is used by the finder to verify they have the [[swaggie]].
| |
− | You need to include the password with the [[swaggie note]].
| |
− | A potential [[swaggie note]] has been drafted for your use.

− | ==Can I put a travel bug in a cache listed only on this site?==
| |
− | | |
− | Although it is possible, we would rather you didn't because [[Geocaching.com]] does not track a Travel Bug through caches it hasn't listed. The Travel Bug would 'disappear' as far as the [[Geocaching.com]] is concerned, eventually reappearing when it is placed in one of their caches again.

| |
− | | |
− | Click the 'My' tab on the header to show the 'My Account' page, At the bottom left, under 'My Swaggies', click 'Add New Swaggie'. Chose a name for your swaggie and type it in, fill out the description with the tasks you want to set for the Swaggie and type in the password you want used when the swaggie is logged.
| |
| | | |
− | The password is similar to the number engraved on a Groundspeak TB and is entered by the finder when the Swaggie is logged. Once you have saved the page the swaggie will appear on your account page. You can edit the swaggie from that page.
| + | Swaggies are no longer supported by Geocaching Australia. |
