![]() If I didn’t manually move this to the top of my sets page, it would be buried in the over 1,800 sets I have on Flickr. One of my most viewed sets is one of my oldest, my 10 faves or more set. This may not be the best way to present your sets though. Your most recent sets are shown first, and older sets are shown last. By default, Flickr puts your sets in the order created. Just click on the … and you’ll find it all there.ĥ. ![]() I’ve seen many people ask where their favorite lesser used Flickr feature went (EXIF data, gallery functionality, all sizes, etc.). It’s a good way for a site to de-clutter. Anytime you see … anywhere, this means that there are things hidden underneath the … that you may want to find. … = MORE! This is a universal symbol on the internet for more. For those complaining that, with larger photos, they now have to scroll down the page to comment, no you don’t - simply press the C key and you will jump right there, with your cursor right in place and ready to type.Ĥ. This will make your Flickr experience much faster. On Flickr you can use the F key to fave a photo, the C key to comment on a photo, the G key to add a photo to a group, and the T key to tag a photo. This is not necessarily a tip new to the new Flickr, but it’s one everyone ought to know about - keyboard commands. Take advantage of that not only for the photos you want to share publicly, but all your photos.ģ. I don’t know of anyplace else on the web where you can get 1TB of free storage. If nothing else, you will have a backup of last resort if you need to go get those photos later. While you, of course, should not depend on Flickr as your sole backup strategy, everyone now has a free 1TB drive in the sky for photos.Įven if you don’t want to share certain photos, or you only want to share them with your very close friends and family, upload them to Flickr anyways and mark them private or friends/family only. Anyone who ever complains about losing photos on a crashed hard drive again is just dumb. So, all other things being equal, consider making sure your last photo uploaded in a batch to Flickr is one of your strongest square or landscape oriented photographs.Ģ. Also, landscape oriented and square photos show up much larger on the flickr homepage than portrait oriented crops. So, if you are uploading a batch of photos to Flickr, make sure the one that is uploaded last is the best of the batch. The 5 before that are shown as small thumbnails there. However, the only photo that gets shown ginormous on the homepage is the very last one that you upload. With the new Flickr redesign, photos on the homepage are really, really, big. Your upload strategy and the ordering of your batch uploads matters. I upload two batches of photos to Flickr a day - one in the morning and one in the evening. ![]() ![]() Consider a strategy for uploading your batches of photos. This post is not meant to be a debate about the new changes this post is for those of you who are ok with the site design and are now looking for ways to get the most out of it.ġ. I have no way of knowing, more broadly speaking, if the stats numbers look this good for Flickr in general, but if they do, I suspect that they are very happy indeed with the success of this week’s new features. * Dear Marissa Mayer, PLEASE, give us the ability to block users on Flickr, it would make it a much nicer place for those of us who want to enjoy it. More specifically, based on my Flickr stats page, engagement (as measured by comments and favorites) is up approximately 294% on my own photos since the new release. 01% of all Flickr users), I’ve found over the past week that engagement on my own photos is up dramatically. Free accounts are still ad supported, as they have been in the past, but now you are no longer limited to only viewing your 200 most recent uploads to the site.ĭespite the typical torch and pitchfork mob rage emanating from the Flickr Help Forum*, (a group of super negative Flickr users representing less than.
