Patch 101: Upload Pics & Videos to Patch

Here at Patch we want to be a part of the community, but we can't be everywhere at once, so we need your help. Share your photos and videos from around town right here on Emmaus Patch.

Whether it's a photo of your newly blossoming Christmas cactus, a video clip from the school play, or something more newsworthy like a photo of a car accident or a video clip from the school board meeting, we'd love for you to share it with the Patch community.

Directions:

To do so, select "Pics & Clips" from the main navigation bar. Once on the new page, there is a button to "Upload Photos and Videos." (Make sure you are already logged in.)

A window will open for you to browse your computer for photos and videos. Once you find the ones you want to upload, select "choose." A box will appear to show you the progress of the upload.

Once the image is uploaded, click on the thumbnail to add a caption about who is in the photo or video and where it was taken. The more information the better.

It's that simple. Now you've contributed to the Neighborhood Gallery, and people can comment and share it on twitter, facebook and via e-mail.
