basic steps involved with using it. It's pretty easy, but there are a couple of things that you'll need to do to make it so we can find your photos. Just joining the group isn't enough. First, when you upload a photo, you'll need to add tags. You should awlays add a tag that includes the group name (ie. grizhfminimill), plus any other relevant tags. I prefer to run the tag words together (beltdrive), though you can also surround multiple words with quotes ("belt drive"). The two tags are different, though, so searching for beltdrive won't find "belt drive", so it's better if we standardize, or you can add both. Tags are cases insensitive. After you've finished uploading, tagging, and captioning your photos, you'll also need to send it to the group for it top show up on our group page. To do that, just click on the "send to group" button just above the photo. Choose the appropriate group, click OK & you're done. If you would like to add an annotation, click on the "add note" button above the photo. Drag the note that appears to where you want it, resizing it if necessary, and type your comments. The photos are automatically scaled when you upload them, so if your photo is at least 1024x768 when you upload it, it will display on the main page in a smaller format. If you need to see more detail, click the "All Sizes" button above the photo. That's all I can think of now, but hopefully that helps! I know this sounds like a pain, but Flickr's great interface makes the whole process pretty simple. After you've done one or two, you'll have no problems at all.
