1. Facebook and Flickr
Tips for beginners
Steph Swalwell ~ March 2017

2. Facebook – need an account?
If you don't have a Facebook account, you can create one in a few steps:
Go to
If you see the signup form, fill out your name, 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 or mobile phone number.
If you already have a Facebook account, you can log into your account by entering your or mobile number and password and clicking Log In.
Note: you must be at least 13 years old to create a Facebook account.

3. 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

4. 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

5. Uploading, commenting etc
Look for this box and experiment!

6. 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. It's easy to create one. Flickr registration will now allow you to create a new Yahoo account with an existing non-Yahoo address.
Go to Flickr.
Click Sign up with Yahoo.
Fill out your current address. - It can be either a non-Yahoo or you can click I’d rather create a new Yahoo address.
Fill out your personal info.
Click Continue.
Click Send me a code.
Enter the code we sent to your inbox and click Submit.
Enter your preferred Flickr name and username.
Click Let’s get started.

7. 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!

8. 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
