Login to new community area with Facebook

We've got the beta stage of the community area up, and you can login using your Facebook account if you'd rather not create a new user account.  You can use the community area to share photos & videos from around the region.

Once you're logged in (whether through Facebook or by creating a user account), a user toolbar will appear in the Community section; the toolbar includes links to your Profile, Applications, etc.

To upload photos, click on Applications/Photos in the toolbar, and on the right side of the page create an album so you can upload photos to it.

To share videos, click on Applications/Videos in the toolbar, then Add Video on the right side of the page; a popup box will appear that shows you the list of video providers you can link to (including YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo Video, Flikr, etc.).  Click Next, paste the url for your video in the Video Url box, select the category, and select who has permission to see your videow

This is just a quick and dirty how-to, but we'll be working on adding help files for the community area; we hadn't planned to launch this feature yet, but moved it up so we could have a way for people to share photos of the snowstorm.  I'm sure issues will arise since its still in the beta stage, but by using it you can help us to isolate bugs, etc. that may not have been discovered yet.
