Post Your Mays Field Photos to Flickr

We're ready to use Flickr to share our Mays Field photos, particularly any shots of the directional signs.  Here's a brief how-to:

1. First, here's an intro to Flickr, and here's their FAQ.  If you have questions, they have answers.


2. To use Flickr, you'll have to register.  It's free, but Flickr's a Yahoo service, so if you don't have one already, you'll need a Yahoo ID.


3. Once you're registered, you can upload photos to Flickr any number of ways--through the upload page on their site, by email, using one of their upload tools, or even from certain types of cameraphone using ShoZu or Lifeblog.  Knock yourself out, kids.
   
   (Note that you can upload as many photos as you want with a free Flickr account, but you're limited to 20 MB per month--each month, you'll get another 20 MB of bandwidth.)


4. Be sure to tag all your photos maysfield.  And yes, you can tag photos uploaded by email or phone
   
   (Note that you can add other tags as well, such as sfgiants or sanfrancisco or louseal.  Add as many as you'd like.  And I'm kidding about louseal--please don't do that.  I really hate that mascot.  Crazy Crab would kick the seal's ass.)


5. You can also join the Mays Field group on Flickr and add your photos to the group pool.  That's just another way to organize and keep track of our photos.


6. All tagged photos will appear in the photostream in the left-hand sidebar.  I'll also search for tagged photos regularly and display the best ones in posts on this site.  And if we ever really get our act together, we'll have a contest for the best ones.
   
   (Prizes may or may not include one year of free DSL from AT&T, a Moises Alou batting glove (unused), and an autographed copy of Game of Shadows.)
