| Flickr is an image and video hosting website that allows users to upload and share their own images for others to see. Users can create a free account that will allow them to upload 300mb of images and videos per month. These images are then stored on Flickr's site permanently and can be accessed by the account owner as well as others doing a search for images through Flickr. FEATURES  Pro accounts - Upload unlimited amounts of images and videos  Normal free accounts - Upload up to 300mb per month  Groups - Groups allow users to invite people to share images of common interest  Tags - Images can be given tags (descriptive words) so that if someone searches one of your tags on your image, that image will be displayed to the user  Access control - Users can set their images to be private or public. Private images can still be shared with specific people GUIDES TO USING FLICKR Creating and Account Go to the Flickr Page - CLICK HERE In the top right hand side, click "Sign Up" Options: 1.
