In the address box at the top of the Flickr page, just click in the white space just
after the Flickr URL … this will highlight the address in blue.

When you’re uploading jpeg photos onto Flickr, ideally they should be about 700-800px
in width (for photos in landscape format) and 100 – 200kb in size. These will look lovely
when viewed on a computer monitor, but will look rubbish if anyone tries to download
them and then print them out. (The optimal resolution for printing is 300 px per inch, so
to print a 6 x 4 photo, ideally you need to use a digital image size of 1800 x 1200 px.)

As regards uploading one or more photos, simply click on the Upload button at the top
of the Flickr page. The next webpage will give you a choice of uploading a batch of
photos by "drag and drop" from a photo folder, or select "Choose photos or videos" from
your computer, one by one. I favour the latter, so I can order my photos in time sequence
more easily, though you can move added photos around the waiting room, by dragging
them to new positions. At this stage, you can add descriptions to photos, and set
privacy levels for each photo via "Owner Settings" (see the left hand column). You can
also delete any photos at this stage (click on a photo and click on the "x" at the top
right hand corner). Finally you can click on the Upload button to upload the whole batch.

I'm gradually working out how to find my way around the Flickr site, after its major
revision in May 2013. A lot of extra features of Flickr have been hidden from view by
the designers, making it less user-friendly in my opinion.  It's more difficult to see if
anyone has commented on your site (or sent you an email via Flickrmail).  For an
update on how to find these hidden features, click HERE to see my photoblog article.

On the plus side, you can now create a header image for your site, and also add a larger
photo of yourself  (your buddy icon). 

On my WordPress site, I've lost my former link to my Flickr site (via WP's Flickr widget).
I can't work out how to set this back up again, so instead I've created a text link to my
Flickr site using the following bit of linking HTML code, from the following website ...
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

Here is the code ...    <a href="url">Link text</a>
Have a look at the right hand side bar on my blogsite, to see how clicking on the word:
"HERE", takes you through to my Flickr site.

Picasa 3 is a wonderful program, which is available free of charge from Google. It’s
very easy to download … just google it and download it from the Google site.

Once it’s downloaded, Picasa will offer you two options ~ a complete scan of all the
photos on your computer, and a scan of photos on your Desktop, in (My) Documents
and in (My) Pictures. The latter scan will display all the photos on your computer,
folder by folder, and in date order, so you can find any photos / folders that you've 
lost inside your computer. I don’t like Picasa's photo-viewer as my main photo-viewer,
so I unticked that option when Picasa offered it to me.

Picasa also offers you an array of photo-editing options … most of these are
brilliant, such as the vertical re-alignment of buildings, window frames and the like.
You can easily remove “red eye” with Picasa. Another brilliant thing about Picasa is
the collage feature, whereby you can create a photo-montage of your photos.

To create a collage … click on the Help button at the top of the screen >
“Collages, Movies, and Slideshows”. Select “Creating a collage”, and follow the
instructions. Have a look through the “collage style” and the “settings” sections too.

There are several YouTube videos on how to create a picture collage ... HERE is an
excellent one on the subject. 

Below is a collage I made in about 5 minutes, having selected a few photos I took at
Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire recently. It’s very easy to change the position, size and
angle of each photo, and to change the colour of the background too.
