Go Flock yourself!
December 24, 2008
Seriously. You really should get Flock for yourself. Think of it as a holiday gift!
Flock is a web browser that integrates with TinyPic and other image sharing and social sites. It lets you publish up to 1000 photos to TinyPic at one time! After you download the Flock browser, and install it, you are ready to go.
- Open the Flock browser.
- Log into your TinyPic account. You can:
- Enter the web address (http://tinypic.com) and log in.
- Click the Log in button below the TinyPic logo on the Flock – Getting Started page (if this page displays).
- Click the key icon near the top left to open the Accounts and Services sidebar, then click TinyPic, and log in.
- Click the Open Photo Uploader icon . The Photo Uploader displays:
- Drag images from the flock browser to the Photo tab. Or, click Choose Photos at the top left to choose images from your computer.
- Select the account to which you want to upload photos using the drop-down list at the bottom right. If you have only logged into your TinyPic account, that is the only account that you can choose.
- Click Upload, and choose your upload settings.
- Click Upload. Your selections are uploaded to your TinyPic account.
- Click Open the Mediabar to show the mediabar and your new uploads. Click back to uploader to upload more images.
Gravatars are Grrrrreat!
December 17, 2008
I’ll start with a definition of what a Gravatar is. A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from site to site appearing beside your name on gravatar enabled sites. The most popular place I’ve seen them used are on blogs and in comments.
Tinypic will now recognize yor Gravatar if you have one setup and show it when you share your account with others. It’s a nice way to personalize your account, especially with your favorite theme.
A Gravatar on Tinypic
To setup your gravatar;
1) If you have a Tinypic account and a Gravatar, do nothing. It just works.
Otherwise;
1) Sign up for a tinypic account, - http://tinypic.com/join.php
2) Setup your Gravatar, - http://en.gravatar.com/
3) Enjoy some nice holiday cookies while everyone else enjoys your Tinypic album page! (Cookies are a recurring theme today)
Thanks to the folks at Gravatar for having such an easy service!
