Flickr Group

PANADURA, Sri Lanka -- Greetings, fellow clowns. I've unilaterally decided to create a Flickr group for the Circus, since it is difficult to manage our photographs using Blogger alone. This is probably the best solution available at the moment. Picasa Web Albums are still in invite-only beta. Flickr is now, strangely, in gamma.

The new Flickr badge in the sidebar is dynamically fed by the photographs that are added to the group. To add to the group, you need to be a member of Flickr and be invited to join the group. If you're a member, login to Flickr and check your Flickr mail. If you're not a member, check your regular mail. You should have received an invite. If not, you may holler.

I'll continue to post photographs to the blog using Picasa, but I'll also send a copy to Flickr. The Flickr Uploadr makes this easy. Photographs added to group are publicly accessible, but by default you retain all rights. In my photographs, however, I've applied the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 license.

We're also waiting to switch to the Blogger in Beta, but unfortunately, migration capability is not available for team blogs yet.
