5 Ways to Share Your Troy Traffic Jam Photos

The annual Troy showcase opens Sunday.

If you're taking your camera to the Troy Traffic Jam this weekend, here are some ways to share your favorite photos with your neighbors through Troy Patch: 

1. Create a Board post. 

Once you've signed in to the site, go straight to our Boards and click in the "What's up?" box underneath the "All Boards" box. Add a title, write a description and add your photos or videos. Pick the Board that best suits your photos, click "Post now", and your item will instantly appear on our home page.

2. Start a blog. 

Why not start a blog to share the beauty you see all around town? Just click here to get started, give your blog a name and a brief description, select an icon or add a photo of your own. Then start typing and uploading photos and videos! 

3. Use the iPhone Patch app.

The green wheel at the bottom of the home screen allows you to upload photos from your phone. Post stand-alone photos, a note with a brief description or an article with a title and text. And be sure to sign in to the app before getting started! 

4. Tag photos on Instagram or Twitter. 

We'll be looking for a #troytrafficjam tag on social media. 

5. Text or email photos. 

You can always text your photos at 248-622-7994 or email them to troy@patch.com. Be sure to identify the people in your photos and the photographer, so we can properly credit them.
