| Share your photos on Flickr!
Why use Flickr? It's a great way to easily view everyone's photos, keep
them organized, and download other people's photos (the great one of
you that Genna took with her new spiffy camera, etc) at full
resolution, which you can't do on Facebook. You can also put "badges" (rotating sets of your pictures, or of everyone's pictures) on your blog/where ever else. check out matt's blog for an example.
We have a "Pro" (unlimited uploads) account on Flickr.

password: howlermonkey
you can upload pictures easily via the web, or use Flickr's computer interface for PC or Mac for easier and quicker uploading. If you use Iphoto or Aperture, check out this tool.
Uploading photos is easy, but how useful the photos are depend on how responsibly we all use the site. When you upload, make sure to add your pictures to a "set" with your name so we know who took each picture. Then, when you look through your own or other people's pictures, help keep photos organized by "tagging" them. This works like facebook, but it isn't limited to names. Tag photos with the names of the people in the photo, and descriptions of the photo: "sunset," "howlermonkey," "SarahL," "flower," etc. See below for an example of tagging.
Give your friends and family this link, so they can see the photos we all upload.

Once you've uploaded some photos, you
can design a custom Flickr "badge" to put on your blog or any other
website you want. It can be everyone's photos, just your photos, or
photos with a certain tag. Check it out.
This picture, for example, I would tag like this:
