adding media
Video must be hosted on YouTube, blip.tv, vimeo.com or Revver video
To upload media, simply copy and paste the URL to add the media.
- You can add up to 99 images
- A Blip.tv URL will look like this: http://blip.tv/file/######
Once the media has been added, you can use this page to manage your media.
- Click the video once to select it, and then you can choose to add a caption, etc.
- Clicking twice opens it, just like you'd expect.
Videos have a slightly darker border around them, and are found after images in your photo and video section of your profile page.
delete media
- Select the movie that you wish to delete (look for the bolder border), click the delete button
I made this
The "I made this" check box simply attaches your user name to the image or comment.
If you check this box users will see: "created by <username>." If you leave this box unchecked users will see: "contributed by <username>."
Please do not take credit for others' work.

error messages
Sometimes all is not well. Below are some error messages you may encounter and explanations of what they mean.
- invalid blip.tv url [Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] - Usually occurs when attempting to add video media to the ORG too soon after uploading it to Blip.tv. Just wait 10 minutes and re-attempt adding the video. (Awed Job 12:45, 10 July 2007 (PDT))
