More on O-R Flix

I've been noticing a lot of you taking advantage of the O-R Flix system we've set up. I think this is a great system that allows you to not only share you photos (and videos too!), but also to rate and comment on each others' submissions. I've noticed one thing that our uses can do to help get submitted content online faster.

When you submit your content, it has to go through a quick check before it goes live. That's just in case someone decides to submit something...questionable. However, we also have to check each submission and make sure it has a title and description. I can come up with titles of some submissions myself, but sometimes I won't be able to. This is mostly when I have a picture of a person that I don't know.

If you want to see your content appear on our site in a timely matter, it may be helpful for your to add your own titles and descriptions. If you don't know how to do this, its fairly simple; while logged in to O-R Flix, click "My Gallery." You will see all of your submissions. Under each submission is a small link that says "edit." Click that and then fill out as much of the information as you can, although all we really need from you is title and description.

By doing this, you'll help us get your material up sooner. Thanks, and keep using O-R Flix! We'll be looking forward to your 4th of July submissions! Don't be afraid to try video uploads too.

Submit your videos and pictures!

O-R Flix is live! We're still working out some of the kinks and design issues, but the system is ready to receive your submissions. Submit videos and pictures of almost anything you can think of so long as its pertinent to the readership of the Observer-Reporter or the Almanac. To get started, create an account and log in! View our channel listing to get a few ideas.

One great thing about this system is that it allows you to embed any video you see in our system on your web page. Example, our most recent What's Up With That:




Another interesting feature is that you can submit videos and pictures to us through your cell phone! Again, visit the site for more information. If you're at the site of an important event, YOU can be the one to break the story!
