Thing 7: Share photos of your own on Flickr

--Return to the Writer Thing List

Here's where you get to explore and build your own photo galleries for private, professional, and public use. Flickr allows you to post 100 mb each month, and it's free. Post a gallery of visuals with poetry, or pictures that illustrate your stories. Or, start simply with pictures to share with friends and family, then figure it out from there.

To complete Thing 7 you must:

A. Sign up for your own Flickr account
B. Upload photos - Use tag Writing23
C. Reflect on Thing 7 on your blog

Creating a Flickr account
Review this video on how to set up an account, and then create your own.

Uploading Pictures
Now it's time to upload your own pictures. This video will demonstrate how.

For some of your photos try adding the tag Writer23 and mark it public. When you search the tag Writer23, photos from participants of Writer 23 Things will show. Note: You must upload at least five photos before a search for your tags will work.

Newbie's Guide to Flickr is a good resource to use.

C. Reflect - Blog Prompts for Thing 7
Think of ways you may be able to use Flickr to market your writing or in your work and share your ideas. What issues might you face?
