Using Flickr to host images

Question, can you use shutterfly to host pictures? Most of my photos are stored there and it would make things much easier for me if I didn't have to go learn flickr. I've looked a bit and will continue to search, but shutterfly does not have a good reputation for such things.

At first Flickr is confusing but they actually improved their UX already. You can try it at Flickr.

I havent used it in years, but now i have went back just to store some of my old good shots

Hello, guys! If you are looking for free hosting space, Flickr is a great place to start (and, it's free!). Once you have an account, you can embed Flickr-hosted images here in our forums. Also, be sure to join the Wetpixel Flickr group!

 

Here's how to embed:

 

1. look at an image in Flickr, and click "All Sizes" to get to a page that shows all of the accessible sizes for a given image.

 

2. click on "Medium" (500 x 333), which is perfect for Wetpixel

 

3. in the text box below the photo, you'll see some HTML, which is the code they want you to use to embed your image. Here's an example:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/echeng/201438534/" title="Photo Sharing"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/66/201438534_363e6306b9.jpg" width="500" height="333" alt="Humpback mother and calf (Megaptera noveangliae)" /></a>

 

 

 

4. since our forums don't support straight HTML, you have to convert it to bbcode. take the image location (img src) and hyperlink (a href), and convert them. Here's an example of the above image, converted into bbcode:

[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/echeng/201438534/][img=http://static.flickr.com/66/201438534_363e6306b9.jpg][/url]

 

 

 

5. Test:

 

 

Humpback mother and calf (Megaptera noveangliae)

 

 

 

6. (I added the caption, too)

 

If you embed a static image from Flickr, you MUST link back to Flickr. It is part of their Terms of Service.

Thanks!!

Trying flickr... it's not that complicated i guess!
