Flickr How-Tos

Set Up a New Album:

  1. Navigate to the CHD account

  2. Click on "Albums"

  3. Click the "New Album" Icon on the right side of the screen just below the main ribbon (it’s the stacked box with plus sign in it)

  4. Name the Album with the current year

Add Photos to an Album:

  1. Navigate to our team page

  2. At the top right is the upload icon. (cloud with embedded arrow). Click that

  3. Select and drag photos you want to upload into the grey area that says, "Drag & drop photos and videos here"

    IMPORTANT TIME SAVER HERE: Once all the photos appear in preview mode, on the left side navigation bar is "Add to albums.” You want to select the appropriate year.

  4. If you don't upload photos this way, they are added to the general photostream and you have to find each photo and move them ot the album. This absolutely sucks so get step 4 right.

  5. At the top right, click on "Upload XXX photos"

  6. Review the settings, then click "Upload" and the upload starts

  7. You're done! 

Photo Upload Screen. Note step three to save tons of time moving individual photos

Verify Security:

  1. Navigate to the CHD account

  2. Click on "Albums"

  3. Select an album

  4. Click "Edit in Organizer" at the top

  5. At the top of that screen, click "Batch Edit"

  6. Select "Hide/Show in Public Searches" (selecting this option is how we establish security without having to distribute the account via individual/family emails every time we launch a new album)
