Flickr is an online photo management and sharing application.
While in Crete a digital camera will be essential (each group will need at least one between them) and you will take many photos.
During the preparation day you will ensure that you’re able to transfer photos from your camera to the mini-laptop provided for each group’s use in Crete. Each day in Crete you will download your photos to the computer; they can be managed using the Windows Live “Photo Gallery” application and we recommend you back-up photos to a data stick.
You may add photos to your Wordpress website by inserting them into posts (without first uploading to Flickr).
However once uploaded to Flickr you can take advantage of the Flickr widget, which can be inserted into your website sidebar. You can also add photos to Google Earth placemarks (covered later).
The actual process of uploading to Flickr may wait until June 24th following your return to England as “online” time in Sfakia will be limited.
However each group should create a shared Flickr account well in advance.
Much like Wordpress, Flickr is intuitive and easy to use and has a number of potentially useful features. Anyone who can use Facebook will manage to use Wordpress and Flickr.
Experiment and explore in your own time.
