Managing your favorite photos on Flickr

This post was inspired by and augmented by suggestions from Derek K. Miller and John Biehler, when I tweeted that I was annoyed at Flickr for not providing a chance to favorite my own photos. Here are Derek and John’s suggestions, which I have started to (slowly) implement on my Flickr sets.

Derek – Add a tag “yearfave” so that you can search easily on Flickr.

John – Create a set of “Favorites” so that you can add your favorite photos to that set.

I’m grateful to both John and Derek for providing these hints, as I am still not self-hosted and therefore, can’t use Flickr plugins yet that are available for WP.org. For example, Rebecca uses a really easy-to-use plugin that she uses when she writes her blog posts, and that allows her to quickly search photos and credit people for use of Creative-Commons-licensed photos. She presented about that topic on WordCamp Vancouver 2008 and you can read my notes of her talk here.
