French Immersion Crew

Joining Flickr!

        Lets get this show on the road by sharing some pictures. Once you receive your Flickr Invitation (let me know if you haven't got one yet) follow the link in the email, then click "Sign In." Since Flickr has been bought out by Yahoo recently, you'r going to have to get a Yahoo ID. If you already have one, just enter it in, if you don't, click "Sign Up."
        Enter in all the necessary information. If you don't want to bother getting a Yahoo! Mail account, simply uncheck the option, though really, if you're still using hotmail, it's time to stop. But I digress....


        Once you're done with that junk, click "Continue to Yahoo! Flickr" In the bottom corner


        Enter in an appropriate Screen Name.


        Go to your home page to upload pictures.


        You can upload 6 photos at a time directly from the Flickr website, but I suggest trying one of Flickr's uploading tools to get the job done faster.


        Once you've uploaded you're photos to your own private space, you'll probably want to add them to the French Immersion Crew photopool. Do this by clicking "Organize" from Flickr's menubar at the top of the site.


        Load all your photos, or find them in the little timeline at the bottom of the Organizr. Click on the "Your Groups" tab and the F.I. Crew should come up. Click the little "M" icon to move images to and from the group.


        Then hold down "A" on your keyboard to add an image to the group. Voila, that's it!

        Blogger With Flickr
        Now lets say I want to post an image I've got up on Flickr onto Blogger. Well, that's pretty easy, too. Just click on the picture you want to post, and you will get a bunch of tools pop up above your picture, one which will be "Blog This." Click it, the follow the instructions. It's easy.


        To get the URL of an image you want to add as your Blogger profile, simply click on "All Sizes" next to the "Blog This" button, then scroll down the page till you're shown "This Photos URL." Copy and paste the URL into your Blogger profile, and your set! Be careful, though, since Blogger will only accept images of a certain size. If you'r having any problems, just let me know, I"ll help you out.

That's about it, guys, you're ready to start contributing! Talk to you later!
