Using Flickr and Some Thoughts About Photos Online
Sometimes someone sends me a link to a photo they’ve posted on Flickr and say, “You can use this photo as Photo of the Day”. Well I would REALLY, REALLY like to but…I can’t. Flickr won’t let me. Many of the photos I choose for Photo of the Day are stored on Flickr’s servers. To…
