How to Tag Other People's Images in Flickr

Just how would you tag this?Adding tags to Flickr images helps the
photos to come up in a viewer's search on any particular subject.
Adding tags to your own images can be done in a number of ways,
but there are less options for adding them to others' images. Read
this article to learn how to use the options that are available
for tagging others' images.

!! Steps !!

* Sign in to your Flickr account. If you don't have one, create one.
You can't add a tag unless you are signed in.

* Go to the image or images that you wish to tag.

* If you're taking the time to tag images, consider tagging the
Creative Commons images. These are images that can be used with
permission for a variety of purposes, including on wikis. Adding
this tag will ensure the most use out of the added tags.

* A Creative Commons image to be taggedLook to the right of the
image. You'll see "Tags (add a tag)".

* Tag dialog boxClick on '"Add a tag". You'll see a dialog box
open up directly beneath the word "Tags".

* Add your tag or tags. Ensure that the names you add are relevant
and useful. You may wish to tag as to location, genre, personal
characteristics, subjects seen in the picture, colors or type of
media used.
If you add multiples, leave a space between each tag. If you add a
phrase, put quotation marks around the phrase in order to make the
phrase appear as a single tag. For example:

* "Red Flower"

* "Children Playing"

* "Golden Smile".

!! Tips !!

* You can add tags in any language.

* Up to 75 tags can be applied per photo.

* In order to broaden the searchability of location, consider adding
the state or province, if you can tell which city or town a photo
is taken in. Abbreviations of locations may be helpful as well,
for example, MA in addition to Massachusetts.
