Yesterday Michael posted about an easy-to-use photo-sharing site [Picupine][3] and mentioned in passing "I know it's hard to believe, but Flickr and Photobucket are just too difficult for some people to use."

It *is* hard to believe, but it's also very true, even one of my normally tech-savvy friends didn't quite grok Flickr at first glance. Which is why I thought I'd point out a very nice [Flickr guide for newbies][2] (if you know of a Photobucket equivalent leave a link in the comments).

The folks over at Webware have put together a really helpful guide for the first time Flickr user that walks you through how to upload your photos, tag and organize images, and even dips a toe in the geotagging waters.

Other organizational tool like set and the brand new collections feature are examined in detail, including ways to organize photos that might not be immediately obvious even for veteran Flickr users.

The guide also explains how to share your photos and interact with the Flickr community as well as walking through the Pro account options and why you might want to look into it.

If Flickr has ever had you banging your head against the wall, or stumps your friends (if I get another link to Kodak "Easyshare" I'm gonna scream) pass the link along. This one's for you Dave.
