Finally on Flickr

0 Comments... What do you have to say?

I’ve had a free pro Flickr code for some time now, well I finally cashed it in. For those who don’t know Flickr is a place where you can store photos online and people can view them, leave comments, etc. I always like to get feedback on pictures I take or just some funny comments so since I had some free time I setup my account.

I was surprised how easy it was to upload a lot of photos at once. Flickr does have a web based upload system, but they also have a program where you can just drag and drop photos and click upload and they are there. Also if I have a large photo I don’t need to resize it, Flickr will do it for me. I wasn’t going to resize 100 old photos just to upload them to Flickr!

So I have my account setup and have added a bunch of older photos. I hope to keep up with it and add a few photos each week. I used to have random photos from my ThinkComputers Gallery on the side of the blog, but no one really would comment on them so I have added the Flickr badge that shows 10 random photos of mine. Feel free to add comments on my photos and add my as a contact!

I recently started using Flickr as well. I’ve been impressed with it so far.

You should implementing Lightboxes or something on the pictures instead of directing your readers to Flickr.

I noticed that you switched your photos to Flickr… I like it a lot better. I have been planning on creating an account and did so yesterday. I haven’t uploaded any pictures yet though.

I’m probably one of the few people who have never signed up for flikr, or ever really looked at it much. With your write up and some of the comments, I might check it out.

What is the difference between a pro account? I just signed up for it to host images for my blog so it wouldn’t eat up bandwidth.
