Day six of something happy

[clevermanka]

I ponied up the cash to buy a Pro account on Flickr and can now organize my photos. Organization makes me very VERY happy.

So, now that I have all these opportunities to arrange things in my photostream, can anyone tell me what is the difference between "sets" and "collections?"

Good deal! I love my flickr pro account. :-)

Basically, sets contain related photographs and collections contain related sets that you have created.

Ah!!! Thank you. That's pretty cool.

Sets = filing folders
Collections = drawers containing filing folders

You are the main inspiration for me finally upgrading. Your photo projects encouraged me to try my own daily photograph experiment.

Flickr has worked out really well for Mel and I considering the massive quantities of photos we keep. I just added you as a flickr contact.

Keen! Thanks.

I wanted to have a place where I could upload photos anywhere--if I was at my own computer or on vacation, or wherever--without worrying about FTPing stuff up to a server. So far it's been pretty handy!

Flickr rocks.. the tagging works well too, and the picnic editing tool where you can edit the pix online is damned good.
I like that you can set the filters on an entire batch as to who can view those pix. I have several "my eyes only" pix that are costume inspirations.. so I don't get in trouble for stealing the picture.

Flickr was the reason I got rid of my old domain, no reason to spend $10/month on my website when I can pay much less per year.
