how do people do those little black boxes that show info about things in the pictures?

I think, if you go to your photos. Click on a photo and then right above the photo should be a set of options. One says "Add Note". Click that and you should be good.
 
What's your flickr?

I know some of us have mentioned ours or have them in our sigs, but it'd be nice to have a directory. Please post your photostream and make a comment on the photos (or a single photo) of the person who posted before you. And no, I don't mean comments like "awesome pics, yo," or anything like that. Something actually constructive. Anyway, I'll start:
http://flickr.com/photos/wmmk/

Most of my better photos are on the second and third pages, so make sure to look at them!🙂
 
I have a Flickr account but have not actually really used it, preferring to stick with PBase and Smugmug. I keep meaning to play around with Flickr, see what the advantages/disadvantages are, but just haven't gotten to it yet. For one thing, their terminology kind of throws me off: "flickr stream?" Huh? Also, on the few times I've looked at others' flickr accounts, I have not seen where there is any way to separate things out into different galleries, etc. I don't particularly want to go through pages and pages of an account just to find the one or two items a person has mentioned. As I said, though, I have not really explored flickr enough with my own account to know if separate galleries are even possible, etc.
 
My Flickr

Basically a place to host my pics for linking on other sites... not at all organized, but there are a few pics in there that I'm proud of 🙂

EDIT: Whoa, I completely forgot I already posted here 😛
 
I have been trying out flickr along with my smugmug account. I have to say I am really liking flickr and may just drop my smugmug account all together. Anyways if you are interested take a look:

Let me know what you think, this is only a small portion of my photos, I will adding more as time allows.

Thanks

i definetly agree with you. i organization of galleries ('sets') is rather poor...

The terms of service alone are the biggest disadvantage for me. Granting them a world-wide royalty-free license? No way 😡
