In this tutorial we will discuss posting media that has been uploaded to V-TIP or YouTube.

When visiting your profile page notice the buttons below the post box at the top of the page.

Each button represents one of our four shareable media types.

Profile Page Buttons
Profile Page Buttons

Viewing them from left to right we have:

Pictures

Video

Music/Audio

YouTube

Documents

Google Maps

We will cover Google Maps on another post.

Shared media

The first three buttons and the documents button refer to content you have uploaded to your profile.   By clicking the buttons you will see the names of each playlist or picture album in your profile.

In this example we will use the music/audio button shareable type.  Click that button. The list in the box below shows all the music/audio playlists uploaded by the member.

Audio/Music playlists

We will use the album called “soundcloud set”. Click on that album and it will appear in the post box.

Isn’t that easy?

Post to a friend’s profile page

If you are permitted to post to a friend’s profile page (by virtue of your relationship to that member), you will see the post box at the top of the page.

Follow the same procedures above.  The only difference is you won’t be able to delete the post if you make a mistake.

Now go forth and post!
