A Few Flickr Pointers . . .

After you’ve made a “set” in Flickr, you can select that set from the “Your Photos” page for your Flickr account.  The set’s screen will look like the one below.  You can hover with the cursor/arrow just below the big main picture in order to reveal the box into which you can cut-and-paste the text of your photo essay introduction.

When you click the “Organize” option at the top of any Flickr page, you will be taken to the “Organizer,” pictured below.  Your browser needs to have the Macromedia Flash player for this to work, but that’s standard for most Web browsers now.  Firefox, for example, will just prompt you to download the player and basically walk you through the steps.  Email me and let me know if for some reason neither your browser, nor your friends' browsers, nor any broswer in the university labs seems to be working for you. The Organizer lets you create sets, add pictures to sets, and also rearrange the pictures in your sets once you’ve made them.

The four images below show the right side of the Organizer, where you can rearrange your sets once they're made. The first shot shows what you'll see when you look open the Orgnizer (so long as you've already put together some sets.) The second shot shows what you'll see when you select one of those sets by clicking on it. The third and fourth shots show photos moving around. You can't see the arrow in my screen captures, but all you have to do is grab these with the arrow, click and hold, and drag each photo to the position where you want it. Also notice the little trash can in the lower right corner, which you can use to eliminate photos from a set, if you need to do so.
