Hello everyone! I haven’t posted on the blog or gallery for a while – mainly because I’ve been spending all of my spare time on Flickr 😉
I will continue to occasionally post blog updates here, but have decided to move all of our photos to a family account on Flickr. The pictures that are currently on shannonmartin.com will remain for the foreseeable future. There are a few main reasons why I have decided to use Flickr for our photos:
- The ability to comment on our photos
- The ability to easily order prints online of our photos
- Security: only Friends and Family will be able to see pictures containing people
- Storage: Flickr offers unlimited storage (and we have about 30GB of photos to upload)
- Usability: Flickr offers a user friendly interface that is easy to use and navigate
- My Time: I can upload everything to one site and won’t have to worry about emailing pictures to people
Just to reiterate – you will not be able to see pictures with people until you have signed up for Flickr and have been added as a Friend or Family.
By the time you read this, I will already have sent out invites to many of you, but if you have not received one, below is the information on how to sign up:
If you already have a Flickr account, just add us as a contact and we’ll set the appropriate status. If you do not have a Flickr account, go to the Flickr homepage (http://flickr.com) and click on “Create Your Account” on the upper right-hand side.
If you already have a Yahoo account, just enter your Yahoo! ID and password. If not, click on the “Sign Up” link under the “Don’t have a Yahoo! ID?” section.
If you have any problems or questions, let us know!
