<title>Upload photos to <app>Flickr</app></title>

<p><em>Flickr</em> is a photo album service that lets you share pictures with 
people online. You can upload photos to Flickr directly from the image 
viewer.</p>

<p>In order to be able to use the <app>Flickr Uploader</app>, you will
need to install the <app>Postr</app> application using your Linux 
distribution's <app>package manager</app>. Once it is installed, you can 
upload photos to Flickr:</p>

<steps>

  <p>The first time you upload a photo, the <app>Flickr Uploader</app> will 
ask you to log into Flickr. The website will ask you to authorize 
<app>Postr</app> to access your account.</p>

  <p>Back in the image viewer, click <guiseq><gui>Image</gui><gui>Open 
  With</gui><gui>Flickr Uploader</gui></guiseq>.</p>
