Flickr

This week, I decided to try Flickr. I may have opened up an account years ago and probably didn't have any use for it.
I was initially annoyed with the sign-up process because you had to get a Yahoo account first and then you can sign up for Flickr by using your Yahoo account.

But all that aside, I like how the site welcomed you by showing a video of how to use the website. (Although the user-interface was a little bit more simpler than most websites that I've came across)

I clicked on the Explore tab and then clicked on The Commons. I searched for Florida State University and narrowed down my search to the "All Creative Commons"

I decided to include this picture for the blog

I started looking for more images in different categories and I had a ton of fun with it. I didn't realize how much free pictures I could use for my projects, but I did have to be aware that some of these images are free to be used unless it is for profit.

  1. Deviyani, I think I used to have a flickr account back in the day when the site wasn't as advanced and useful as it is now. I didn't even think about how you could use their pictures for projects - great idea. I was too caught up on my excitement that I now have an easy way to organize all my photos.
