Facebook and Flickr Tips for beginners Steph Swalwell ~ March 2017

Facebook – need an account? If you don't have a Facebook account, you can create one in a few steps: Go to www.facebook.com If you see the signup form, fill out your name, email address or mobile phone number, password, date of birth and gender. If you don't see the form, click Sign Up, then fill out the form. Click Sign Up. To finish creating your account, you'll need to confirm your email or mobile phone number. If you already have a Facebook account, you can log into your account by entering your email or mobile number and password and clicking Log In. Note: you must be at least 13 years old to create a Facebook account.

Privacy on Facebook If you’re worried about privacy, go to settings and see what they offer To find settings, click on the question mark on the blue tool bar and scroll down to Settings Under general account settings you’ll find the Privacy heading. It’s fairly straight forward, as the options you can choose have nice self- explanatory titles such as, “Who can see my stuff?” “Who can contact me?” and, importantly, “Who can look me up?” If you have an ex who is a crazy stalker, you can block specific people by going down the list on the left and selecting “Blocking” – then just follow the instructions

Finding the TDCC Group Along the top, embedded in the blue tool bar is a white box you can type things into – it’s your search box. It’s just like google. This is us, and we’ll come up in your search results. You need to make a request to join the group, and there is a button called JOIN. The club will respond granting you access

Uploading, commenting etc Look for this box and experiment!

Flickr – how to join up I can do no better than give you the instructions from the experts, click here to get them in full Create and use a new Yahoo ID If you don't have a Yahoo ID, don't worry.

Finding the TDCC Group There is a search box on the top tool bar and type in Tring Camera Club And this is us! To then join the group simply click on the button “+ Join Group”. The club will respond granting you access. Only members can see this group gallery To upload images to the club’s group gallery:- firstly upload the image to your own personal flickr photo gallery ensure the image has a suitable title (which can be done when uploading or in flickr itself ) then click on the button “add to group” on the image page ....... it is as simple as that!

The Mobile Apps Depending on whether your device is Android, iPhone or Windows 10, the interfaces are all slightly different but in general: Go to the app store Search for facebook or flickr Download as appropriate You’ll have to login the first time, but your device should keep you logged in, even if you close the app Uploading varies from operating system to operating system, but they like to make it nice and obvious If you need a hand, do come and chat to one of the committee on a club night
