Welcome to this video on adding pictures to Flickr.
The first thing that you'll do to do this is go to www.flickr.com and if you already
have a Flickr account or a Yahoo! account, you can sign in using that or even sign in
using your Facebook account or a Google account.
If you don't have any of these or you don't want to use your Flickr ... or, your Facebook
or Google account information, you can sign up for a new account and they just ask some
basic information.
And once you do that you actually will have a Yahoo! account.
So, the first thing that happens after you log in is you're going to come to a page that
has the most recent pictures from your contacts if you have any yet on Flickr.
So you can see what the latest uploads were from them.
To see your own pictures, you can go up here to You and you'll see you have a choice of
seeing your photo stream or your sets or maybe a map of where pictures have been taken, your
favourites, galleries, recent activity, stats - so how have your pictures been viewed, when
you have been uploading pictures - and it gives you a chance to organize them.
You can see the people that you're following, photos from them or of them, find some friends,
communities you might want to join, but the point of this video is actually to upload
pictures.
So we're going to go to upload, and it gives you a choice, you can drag and drop photos
and videos here or you can choose photos and videos that you maybe have the file on your
computer.
So for this I'm actually going to drag a picture in right here.
That should work... ah, here we go.
Okay, so I put this picture here and I already had a title on it, it was Photo of the U of
S, but let's change that to University of Saskatchewan in the Fall.
And I can say I took this picture on a beautiful ... beautiful fall day in 2013 at the U of
S. And done there.
I can add tags right there, so University of Saskatchewan because I've already tagged
other things with it, it recognizes that.
I can also tag it with fall and trees and leaves, and you get the point.
If there were people in it, I could tag some people in it to show who was there.
I could also go over here where it says owner settings.
And this is copyright, so I can edit this and I can say what license, what Creative
Commons license I'd like to put on this, or not at all.
So I can say all rights reserved, which is what it's at right now, or I can pick that
I have to have credit, people have to give me credit, and they can't use it for commercial
purposes and they have to share it under the same license I put on and you can see what
each of these are.
And I've actually, since this video is for a course, you'll know that there's already
a video on various Creative Commons licenses, but here's where you get to choose from what
they are.
So I'm going to put in an Attribution, Share-alike.
So people can do whatever they want with this, but they have to share it under the same terms,
so they have to put an Attribution, Share-alike license on it and they have to give me credit.
And everybody can see it, but I could change that if I wanted to that only I can see it,
so it would be private, I could say it's private, but my friends could see it - my friends on
Flickr - or just people that I've designated as family.
We're going to leave this as anyone can see it, so I think we've got everything there,
there's description, there's tags, picture's been added, I've set a license on this, and
now I'm going to click upload one photo.
It's noting things that I've changed and it's going to upload it.
There's my whole collection of pictures and there's that picture in particular of the
University of Saskatchewan.
So it shows that I took the picture on October 11 - it read that from the file - and there's
the name of the picture and there's the description of it.
Nobody has viewed it yet, nobody has favourited it or left a comment.
This shows where I can actually share it.
I can post it to Facebook or Twitter, I could email it or Pinterest, Tumblr.
This gives me a few other options: WordPress, Blogger.
Or I can do add it to a set or a group, add a location.
If I go to add a location, it doesn't really want to let me use it right now, so we're
not going to worry about it.
You can see that all that information is there, shows some other pictures from my photo stream,
and that's all I ready need to see, so I'm done with that.
And that's it: I've successfully added the picture to Flickr with a Creative Commons
license on it and that's it.
