In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.Its popularity has been fueled by its organization tools, which allow photos to be tagged and browsed by folksonomic means.As of November 2007(update),it claims to host more than 2 billion images.
Here are the items you should complete:
Buddy Icon. The avatar size is a small 48 x 48 so upload and use an avatar that is noticeable and visually appealing. You can either use your favorite image, company logo or site brand.
Screen name: You would have already chosen this earlier but you can edit it now if necessary. McGee suggests that you could use your site URL as the screen name but I don’t think that’s really important. You can use the handle that you’ve always used around the web or simply go with your brand, site title or an abbreviated version of your name.
Profile: Write a little about yourself or your business and include some relevant links (link to your About page etc). HTML is accepted so use proper anchor text links instead of a string of URLs. You might want to add in your location and some of your interests to personalize your profile even more.
Your Flickr Web Addresses: You can create your own Flickr web address which makes it easier to share your pictures with others.
