Hi Newbie Here
      #705967 - 13/09/2008 23:00

Hi there I have just signed up as I am interested in doing one of the home study courses. I have just put some pics onto a flicr site. Please take a look.

Greetings Geefor...welcome to the forum!

I know a fair few people on the forum do the courses so I'm sure you'll get some good advice from them.

P.s. Don't forget to add a reciprocal link on your Flickr profile page...it's part of the forum rules.

Go to user options, then personal info, then in the signature box...type this...

[url =http://www.flickr.com/photos/30447346@N05/]My Flickr [/url]

(Just remove the space after "url"...I've only included that so it doesn't appear as a link in the post)

That should do it...but there's no point doing it until you put a link back to the AP forum in your Flickr profile (the mods will remove the link from you signature).

Yep, that works. You just need to add this code to your Flickr profile to comply with the rules of this forum.

Code:
<a href="http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.whatdigitalcamera.com/images/buttons/AP_button.jpg" /></a>

You > Your Profile > Edit Your Profile (this link is shown on the top right of your profile page)

Then paste into one of the large boxes...I put my link in the "Describe Yourself" box...it's as good as any.

You've got the link there...that's all that matters.

You need to change the url in your signature though as your Flickr URL has changed.

Change it to http://www.flickr.com/photos/geefor/
