have decided to choose one image from each thematic area
professional photographers can see flickr as a devisive tool
Sponsors keen to support the program
change of practice in future museum programs - are you happy to have your image uploaded to Flickr?
Defer people's choice to 2010 as with Flickr Eureka choice

We decided to go with these as the photographers were OK about it plus they are really stunning images. So, how long does social media take - about 5 minutes for that job.

But, now to the tricky and frustrating part - adding a Flickr feed to our Facebook Fan page. Thought I did it but cant find it anywhere on the page or my profile for that matter. Can anyone help??

Can't find how to do it. Sorry.

The link to the Flickr image that Shelley took is www.flickr.com/photos/aur2899/3333106544/in/set-721576145

Click on that and you should see

'Stories posted by you'

'Imported stories' ---> 'Available sites'

Select the Flickr link and it will ask you to type in your Flickr details. From then on all images you post to Flickr will appear in your news feed.

Let me know how you go :)

Also I added the AusMuseum to my Flickr contacts - take a look at my photos if you have time!; ▶ Reply to This

Could I be cheeky and make you an officer on the page so you could do it for me and then let me know how it was done plz?? I've given up!; ▶ Reply to This
