Flickr Photo Album Project

Today we will make our Flickr photo albums. 

To sign in to Flickr, you will need to make a Yahoo account --not Yahoo.co.jp, but Yahoo.com.

After creating your account, you can upload your photos. I think a minimum of 6 photos is reasonable. If you don't have any photos, go outside for a few minutes and take some, or have a friend take some. 

To upload your photos, you need to have them on the computer. You could do this by using a USB drive, by mailing them to yourself, or by other means. 

When you have uploaded the pictures, add an English Title to the picture. Add an English description. Add tags. Tags help you to organize your photos, so that if you had 2,000 photos and wanted to see one of your dog that you took at home in 2007, you could search for the tags dog, home, and 2007 to find it. 

You can also create sets. Sets are like albums. This could be a time, place, or theme. 

You could upload a profile picture and write a profile. 

You can make comments on other people's photos, and create links to your friends who are on flickr. You can find pictures from other people which are your favorite pictures and call those your favorites.

If you would like, you can make a photo album at Picasa Web Albums, Zooomr, or Facebook, too. Compare the features and quality. Which photo-hosting service is best for your purposes and why?
