start using Flickr

but everyone it talking about it..so I guess I’ll at lease look into it.
the first step then, would be to open mt own account…

maybe tomorrow

This site is amazing! It’s like having your photos in your computer! I just started using it for posting pictures of my watercolors with a group of people doing the same. But now that I got a glimpse of the extent and potential this site has, I’ll be using it much more and integrate with 43T and my blog :)

Has anyone put the santa hats and santa beards on their photos as notes yet? Those things are so funny!

I created a Flickr account a while back, but I didn’t really upload any photos to it. I liked the way people’s Flickr pictures looked on their 43things pages (added to its colorfulness), so I finally uploaded more pictures onto my account too. Flickr is very easy to use and I’m going to try and use it regularly…

For friends & family to see. Took a while to narrate all of them but well worth the time/effort.

I created an account on Sunday and have since uploaded two sets of photos.

I like the ease of use and the tag feature. My parents were able to easily go to the website and look at the pics.

I played around a little but haven’t investigated the features yet. I would like to figure out:

- If you can have some people see some pics and others different pictures

- Generally the different levels of permissions, etc.

- If you can send someone directly to a set of pictures vs. your front page with all the sets listed

- What the differences are between the free version and pro

I also need to write easy to use instructions for viewing the pictures as a slide show or as different sizes when sending out the link.

it’s so easy to sign up and start uploading pics! opt for the free account first. i heart flickr!!!!!!! looking through other people’s photography is uber-inspiring.

...are now on Flickr – the next step is to using Flickr in a more organised manner

I kept a Gallery 1.x photo gallery on my website for years with thousands of snaps in it, and I just grew sick of having to manage it. The last straw was when Gallery decided that one of the files related to the main gallery section had to exist and I couldn’t recreate it for the life of me. I left a PHP warning at the top of the gallery page for ages until I finally wiped the whole thing out for Gallery2. But in the end, Gallery2 wasn’t worth redoing all of my albums. $25/yr for Flickr, and I’ll never have to worry about all of that again.

...it was straightforward to setup. Next thing is to start using it for new photos.
