Flickr is geared towards individual accounts and does not have dedicated support for organization accounts (however very many orgs are using it that way). From there, make sure you have a profile logo img sized for a round frame and a wide image to use for the header of your page. Once youve signed up click on your profile image (default at right), and go to Settings to be able to set or change your screenname, actual name, and add some about text (highly recommended), and set a custom url for your page (which can only be done once, so be sure its a hit). Image URLS for your website Getting a web-friendly version of any Flickr image on your web page is as easy as selecting exactly what size best suits your needs. Flickr offers a selection of embed codes to set you in the right direction. If youre just looking for a simple URL, you can find it (under View all sizes, and then right click / Control click on the size you want to Copy Link Location) but Flickr wants to ensure that when an image it hosts is placed on another site, that that image links back to its location on Flickr.
