Redesigning my Flickr account

We all know Flickr is the largest and one of the oldest photo social sites, but I have never been sure how to make the best use of it.

Of course I want more people to see my photos and would like to stretch my social skills. I've started several groups, ClubMed, Riu Resorts, Caribbean Princess, Atlanta Steeplechase and the Bausch & Lomb Tennis Championships. But still feel like I want to get more out of Flickr.

I think I've solved the dilemma: Changing the Copy-Right to Creative Commons, with restrictions. I don't want my photos; changes, sold and attribution. so here are the rules to use my photos.

  1. You may not use this work for commercial purposes or sell these images. If you would like to buy one please contact me.
  2. You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.
  3. You must attribute the photo to me as the author by name (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).
I've started 2 sets of photos with the Copy-Rights set to Creative Commons New Orleans and Barbados. The photos have been resized to work on the web and you have several sizes to choose from. When you see a photo you like just click on the all sizes button at the top to 4 different sizes and pick the one that works for you the best.

I plan on working on the other photos as time permits, but if you see one you must have please let me know and I will change the Copy-Rights.

If you would like some help with your travel web site please let me know.
