Creating Content

No, content not assigned is posted to the General page.
Allowable formats for uploading photos:
- .jpeg
- .gif
- .png
What is the max file size that can be uploaded?
The max file upload size is 64MB. However, we recommend keeping uploads to less than 8MB in order to speed up the upload process. Once uploaded, your image will be resized and optimized to meet our site guidelines.
The General Page
The General Page is where you will find posted content that was not assigned to either a manufacturer or generation. This may happen for any number of reasons, for example:
- When selecting the manufacturer and generation, the correct option was not available.
- The person posting the content was unsure of the make and model.
- The content is generic and applicable to many makes and models of vehicles.
The Manufacturers Page
The manufacturer page displays all the vehicles made by a particular manufacturer. To navigate to a vehicle’s page, click on the vehicle.
The Generations Page
The vehicle page contains all the content related to a particular automobile. Browse content organized by category or add content of your own.

Photos
Have a great photo to share? At diyauto.com photos don’t always have to be part of a Build, DIY, or a picture of your Ride. Photos can be added solely of themselves with little to no content.
Where can I find my photos displayed after uploading?
That partly depends on the options you selected while uploading your image. If you did not select either a manufacturer or a generation, then your photos will land on the general page. On the contrary, if you select a manufacturer and/or generation, then they will be displayed through those pages respectively. Near the top of the General, Manufacture, and Generation pages is a gallery slideshow. You can slide through the related photos there, or you can press the tile icon to be redirected to the complete gallery of related photos..
Videos
Can I link to sources other than YouTube, like Vimeo, Facebook, Twitter?
No. At this time, YouTube is the only platform that links to videos may be provided for upload to diyauto.com.
