How to Create & Use Notes on Flickr

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody! My name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Okay, another cool thing that Flickr lets you do is add notes. Let me show you what that is. I'll click on my photos here and go down to a photo that I want to add notes to. Here's the picture. To add a note just go up here and click add note, obviously. You're presented with a couple boxes. If there's a part of the picture that you want to add a note to, just put this box over it just like we did with the buddy icon in the last clip. Drag this box over where you want to add the note. Then you can put the note below it. I'm just going to click around this cat's head, and you can just add a note that says cat's head. Nothing profound, but it'll do for the demonstration. Click save. There you go, the note has been added. You can add multiple notes. When somebody comes and sees your picture, when they just open up the picture it won't look any different than any regular picture, but when they put their cursor over the top of it they'll be presented with these outlines. When they put their cursor over that, the note will show up on the bottom. It might seem kind of insignificant in this demonstration, but I'm sure you can imagine the possibilities that it has. If you have a family photo or something, you can just add some notes. You can drag this around different people and name them. So when somebody comes to your page and puts the cursor over the different people, they will know who that person is. This is just another cool little thing that Flickr lets you do with your pictures. "
