I will start by opening Microsoft Outlook. At the top left of the screen click on “Tools” and then “Options”.

Then click on the “Mail Setup” tab at the top and click on “E-mail Accounts”.

Next click on “New”.

Choose Microsoft Exchange, Pop3, IMAP, or HTTP and click “Next”.

I recommend manually entering your information to make sure you meet all the requirements of your hosting service.  Check the box next to “Manually configure server settings” and then click “Next”.

Choose “Internet E-mail” and click “Next”.

Fill out your information.  This is where it is extremely helpful to have your email settings from your provider.  FYI… if you are a lunarpages customer the + instead of @ under the Logon Information is required.  Next click on the “More Settings” in the lower right hand corner.

If you are a Lunarpages customer, your outgoing server requires authentication, so you will need to click that box on the “Outgoing Server” tab.  If you don’t have Lunarpages, you will need to check and see what your email settings are.  When you are done with that click the “Advanced” tab at the top.

I usually leave the default settings on this tab, but some email providers and Internet Service Providers (ISP) require certain port settings.  You can change your port settings here to comply with those needs.  When you are finished click “OK”.

Next click on the “Test Account Settings”.

If all of your settings are correct you should see two green check marks.  Click “Close” and then click “Next” & “Finish.

Your all done!

When you have Flickr uploadr downloaded and opened click on upload and then preferences:

Under the automatic resizing drop down menu choose a size. I personally am choosing 800 pixels because it will render the smallest file size but still a nice sized image.

Click OK. Now you can begin to drag and drop your photos into the left panel of Flickr uploadr. Highlight the pictures you wish to upload in the left panel. On the right side set your title, desciptions, tags etc. then click upload.

When it is finished uploading a little box will pop up. Click on “go to flickr”. Here you will be able to pick which set to add it to and then click on “Save this batch”. You will then be taken to the next page where you can click on your uploaded photo. This will take you to a page that looks like this:

Click on all sizes above the picture. The next page will display the different size options. For posting in your wordpress blog I recommend using the small option and if you wish for people to have the option to view a larger image you can simply link the two which I will further explain below. Click on small and you will see the smaller sized image load. Below the image you will see two options. Highlight and copy option number 2 “grab the photo’s URL”.

Now go to your wordpress blog post. Click on the tree icon above the post box. You will see a little insert/edit image box appear. Paste the link into the Image URL box and add a description then click on insert.

You should now see the image. To link to a larger image return to your flicker account. Click on Medium or Large and then copy that link. Go back to your wordpress post and click on the image and then click on the icon of the chain link (not the broken link). This will open a box where once again you will paste the link into the Link URL box. Add a title if you wish and then click on update.

Go ahead and finish your post and then click on Save and Continue Editing. There will then be a preview link above the left side of the post box. Click on it and check your post to make sure everything looks great. If all is good go ahead and publish the post
