Share your photos on Flickr!

flickr-yahoo-logo.v3.png Did you know that MOM Magazine has a Flickr Group? We'd love for you to share your photos with us, and also use it as a place for inspiration.

Let's start out by sharing pictures of your carved pumpkins. New to Flickr?

Here is what you need to do:

  • If you have a Yahoo account, you can sign in with that. If you do not, you'll need to create an account by following the prompts.
  • Once you have an account, you can upload pictures.
  • Click 'Upload' from the menu items in blue at the top.
  • Click 'Choose photos and videos'. A box will pop up where you can browse for your pictures on your computer to upload.

***Photo sharing tip*** I use Picasa (not the web version, the one you download) on my computer to organize my photos. From Picasa, I go through my photos and "star" the ones I'm going to share/upload to the web (for Facebook, blog, Flickr, etc.). I then select only my "starred" photos and export them in a smaller, web-friendly size to a separate folder I have just for the purpose of web-sharing. So when I go to upload photos to Flickr, I just need to search for my folder I just exported to, select all the photos, and click upload. It's easier for me because I can get just the photos I want, and they are already resized to the size they need to be.

  • Once you've selected your photos, click the pink "Upload photos and videos" button.
  • Next, click on "add a description" and you'll have the chance to write a caption and tags. Tags are really important, especially if you are going to submit your photos to the MOM Magazine group. If you are sharing pumpkin carving photos, tag them with: MOM Magazine, Halloween, pumpkin, and pumpkin carving.
  • After you've filled out title, description, and tags for your photos, click "Save"
  • Next, Click on "Groups" at the top. Search for MOM Magazine. Once you click into MOM Magazine, there should be a place where you can 'join this group.' I've already joined so I am not seeing exactly what that looks like. Once you've joined, you can add something to the group.
  • Click on "Add something?" and it will bring up your photos you just uploaded. You can select which ones you want to add to the MOM Magazine stream. Select your photos and Voila!

Down on the farm...with Amy Roloff!

The MOM team had so much fun at the Roloff family farm interviewing Amy and touring their amazing property. We are thrilled to be featuring Amy on our October/November - she is an incredible woman. So down to earth - she talked with and opened up to us like she's known us for years!

Although we are sad to see the "Little People, Big World" series come to a close, I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more from Amy as part of the Amy Roloff Charity Foundation:
