new Flickr group for Merlin Locations

[mrs-leary.livejournal.com]

I have now created a group on Flickr for Merlin Locations. The idea is that you may like to use it as a place to upload and share your own photos of various locations. (Of course you don't have to use it, but it's there as a resource if you'd like to.)

I have uploaded a few images just to get things started - which made me realise I haven't even shared my images from my second trip to Pierrefonds! (How slack am I...? Very!)

I have also included a 'Flickr group' page on the Merlin Locations website which displays thumbnails of some of the most recently uploaded images.

You can find them here:

• the Flickr group
• the Merlin Locations 'Flickr group' page

Everyone is of course very welcome to add their Merlin Locations photos to the group’s pool. The more, the merrier!

guidelines

You will need to have a Flickr account in order to add your photos to the pool. The way it works is that you upload the images to an account, and them add the relevant images to the group.

You can join Flickr for free. (There are limits on how much you can upload with a free account, but that may not matter to you.) If you really don’t want to open a Flickr account (or you have more photos than a free account can handle), contact me either via the comments or a PM, and I’ll arrange for you to have access to the merlinlocations (paid) account.

Your images are no doubt beautiful in their own right, but adding descriptions and tags (and so on) makes the images even more interesting and useful.

If anyone would like to help with the Flickr group as a prince (known in the mundane world as a moderator), you’d be very welcome! Also, if you have any ideas about how better to use this resource, please pipe up. I am not overly wise in the ways of Flickr, and will appreciate any help or advice.

the website

I'm certainly glad I finally got to work on the website. When I was first thinking about creating this community, my friend the_muppet suggested I start up a website as well, to cater for fans and other interested people who aren't involved on lj. At the time I didn't have a feel for how popular such a site would be, but since I attached a visitor counter to the site on 22 December, we've had 176 visitors! And that's only counting each visitor (um, based on IP address, I assume) once a day. Not to mention the fact that someone actually got in touch with me via the site to let me know about Balinor's cave...

So that's pretty awesome. And I haven't even done anything much by way of promoting the site yet! (It's on my rather long To Do List.)

what would you like to do most...?

Of course if anyone would like to be more involved in the community, the website, or the Flickr page, feel free to contact me. In the meantime, everyone is very welcome to post and upload and share to their heart's content. ♥

Thank you so much for putting this comm together, it's really useful ♥ The whole site thing and making this info easily available to other fans was a brilliant idea :D

Thank you so much, hon. :-D It's great to see you being a part of the comm, visiting the site, and joining the Flickr group. That you're enjoying posting your wonderful reports and videos, and that you find the info useful - that's all exactly what I was hoping would happen, but hardly dared hope for!

Thank you again. ♥
