Thing 9: Photosharing with Flickr

1. Create a Free Account in Flickr (note that Flickr is now part of Yahoo! If you have a Yahoo! account for email or MyYahoo!, log in with that.).
Done.

2. Then use a digital camera (you can check one out from The Cage) to capture a few pictures.
Done.

3. Upload these photos to your new Flickr account and tag at least one of the images with “Ai MN 16 Things”. Be sure to mark the photo “public”.
Done.

4. Add one or more of your images to your blog. You can add the image in one of two ways:
Flickr's blogging tool (need a Flickr account to see the button) lets you click the Blog This button (right above the picture) and add any public photo on Flickr to your blog. Be sure to give credit to the photographer, if it is not your photo.
Blogger's photo upload feature lets you add photos from your computer or from the Web and choose the placement in the blog post. Click the little photo icon in the toolbar on the New Post page—it is in the row of tools above the post box. Follow the instructions in the pop up box.
Done.

5. Once you have the photo uploaded and tagged, create a post in your blog about your photo and Flickr experience.
Done.

Will you use Flickr for school, work, for your personal photos, or in another way?
I can totally see using this for my personal photos. It is a little messy to work with, but I think once I get used to having to go back and forth quite a bit as I set things up it shouldn't be difficult. I think I will start using this to send out all the photo updates of my little girl to the grandparents, siblings and other relatives and friends.
