SB said: Laura, first you need to go to flickr, make an account, and save the pics you want as favorites. Then when you go to BigHugeLabs, you can link the process of finding the shots to your flickr account. You just choose the pics you want from your favorites list. I can walk you through it if you have trouble. It was confusing to me at first too.
one thing though: find extra shots because sometimes the creator of the photo doesn't let you use it in the mosaic. it's disappointing to have to go back and hunt down another one if you get a blank. Once the mosaic is saved, you can go back and edit it, too, which I've done
Laura said: Ah-ha! lol! I forgot to put the spaces in my username, duh!
Okay, next problem, finding pictures from people who didn't opt out of the mosaic thing, lol! Apparently half of the ones I picked were opt-outs, so I have to search for some new ones.
SB said: happens all the time. that's why I usually get at least 2 and sometimes 3 or 4 shots I could use for each question
Laura said: Okay, one more stupid question (Sorry, Illandrya, for attacking your poor babble thread), but how do you move the pictures in order? After I've added them as favorites, there doesn't seem to be any way to switch up the order, so that they correspond to the questions order?
SB said: Once you have the favorites, you go to BigHugeLabs. You make your chart, however many columns and rows. Then you go through each square and select the shot you want from your favorites list.
Laura said: Ah, okay, I remember seeing that option now! Thanks! I was just importing the whole of my favorites list, which must be why it wouldn't let me change the order.

And on a final note, I figured it out!
Wanted to post this here for anyone else who wanted to try and couldn't figure it out (like I couldn't) lol!
I'll post up my example a little later.
