Tips & Warnings

• Add tags to a group of photos that are uploaded at the same time. You can organize your photos much more easily using this technique.
• Decide which photos you want to make public. You can alter your privacy levels at any time.
• Sometimes it can take longer to upload your photos. If a lot of people are trying to access your photos at the same time, you may need to wait for an extra period of time.
• Keep in mind that when you are attaching photos via email to upload on Flickr, there may be a limit to the photos allowed by your email account.

on 8/6/2008 I strongly discourage relying on Flickr email upload as I found out the hard way during a long trip; basically I couldn't install flickr's uploadr in web cafe so I relied on email upload instead. Turns out that some of the pictures were making it and others not. Doesn't matter if you send from hotmail, Yahoo or Gmail. Flickr just drops *SILENTLY* some of the pictures. It makes me very mad. None of the others (Fotki, Smugmug) have this problem. Flickr's support just says "tough sh*t, we don't officially support multiple photos per email". Argg!!
