How to use Flickr....

Because my mom's friend asked her and she asked me to show them and this is the easiest way to do that on a day when my pet donkey has died and I have a cough and have to go to urgent care... without further long story short...I give to you... How to use flickr in 15 easy steps... maybe more if this drives you to drink somewhere in the middle, it's up to you.

Your starting page on Flickr, note the "Your Contacts" at the bottom, pics from your contacts show up here.

Under the "You" tab find the Upload Photos and Videos option

Choose your photographs from your computer....

Choose your privacy settings, public for photographs you don't care who sees and this is the easiest setting

While your pictures are uploading, perhaps consider starting up a hobby, like crochet, novel writing, cooking

Once your photographs have uploaded, click the "Add a description" option

Here you can add tags, an easy way to find your photographs or for others to find your photographs, and add them to a set or create a set for them to be in.. scroll to the bottom of the page..

Choose a set or create one

Here you can save them as is, or save them and also edit them with the fun tool "Picnik" try it, it's fun

Once you have your photographs uploaded you can mess with them individually by clicking on that button in the left corner of each photograph, in this case I'm going to rotate it. You can also edit in picnik or delete, view all sizes if this isn't your photograph so you can download it to your computer

This is a set, in the top right hand corner there is an email button, facebook, twitter, you can choose how you want to share with friends

Or you can click this button to grab a link and paste into an email or write on a napkin for someone to find your set

For people to be able to easily see your photographs you need to adjust your account, under the "you" tab click "your account"

In your Privacy & Permissions section of your account, adjust the top one, also.. for the truly nosy.. that is not my current or recent or a functioning email because I felt like being difficult. hmph.

For others to be able to download your photograph and work on it, click anyone, if you want to add someone as a contact and then only they (and your other contacts can see your photographs), click the "your contacts" option there.

.  Find the contacts tab next to the "you" tab, to the right, then either search for those that you know or have them find you... 

Hope that helped,
sincerely,
Megzy. *cough* .. now off to the doctor yippee whohoo.
