We
have almost 100 pictures up on flickr,
and are posting more almost daily. If anyone wants to donate a nice
digital SLR camera to us, we'd glady take it and be your best friends
forever ;). Anyways, if you're having trouble with your flickr invite,
or didn't get an invite follow these steps:
- If you didn't get an invite email April or I and
we'll send you one. You can skip this step if you want...
- If
you don't want to wait for that, or if you're having trouble following
the instructions in the invite, open your web browser and go to www.flickr.com.
- Click the big "Sign Up!" button in the middle of the
page.
- This will take you to the Yahoo! account
creation/login page, where you will have to click "Sign Up" again.
- Follow
all of that hoo-hah, and get your Yahoo! account created. Creating this
account does not mean you have to start using Yahoo! as your email
account or anything like that. It's just the only way you can get onto
flickr.
- Once your Yahoo!/Flickr account has been created, go
back to www.flickr.com
and click "Sign In" at the top of the page.
- Click "Sign into Flickr using your Yahoo! ID".
- Login using the account information you just created.
- Hopefully
you should be logged in now, and will get the flickr main page with a
couple of menu items near the top (Home, You, Organize, Contacts, etc.)
- Hover your mouse over the Contacts button until the
little
triange appears, then click it. On the menu that appears, click on
"People Search".
- Type "shamsway" in the box and hit search.
- Hover
your mouse over my picture until the little triange appears, then click
it. On the menu that appears, click "Add to Contact List" (or whatever
option it gives you there - should be at the very top).
- Hover
your mouse over the You button until the little triange appears, then
click it. On the menu that appears and click on "FlickrMail"
- Click "Compose a New Message"
- Select "shamsway" as the To: person, make the subject
"Add me!", and type whatever you want in the actual message box.
- Wait
a little while and I'll add you. Then go back to flickr, login and look
in your contact list. Click on me (shamsway) and that will bring you to
all my pictures. If you see pictures of Lexie, you're golden. If you
just see a picture of the pool and the cats, either you havent' been
added yet or you did something wrong. Your choices at this point are:
1) Wait more 2) Give up or 3) Call/Email and beg for help.
SHEESH! I was hoping that process would be easier. For some it has
been, for others, it hasn't oh well... By the way:
Photo printing has been enabled for friends and family on flickr, so
you should now be able to send prints to Target. I had tried to enable
this before, but it just wasn't jiving. I believe it's working now, but
if you have problems then let me know! |
