Photos and Videos

Flickr

Adding files to a webpage can easily exceed the quota, especially of free sites. If you have lots of pictures of events that you want to share with your members, using an outside storage site can be an easy solution. Flickr allows you to upload files and share with the public or with select individuals.

YouTube

YouTube is probably one of the most well known video storage sites. In addition to storage, you can copy a URL or embed the video right into your chapter's webpage. The site above was found by searching under aviation. Catuion, since anyone can upload to YouTube, some of the videos may not be family friendly.
