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!
