As most of you probably know, whether you use flickr or not, they have a Magic Donkey that selects photos every day that are "cool." Those photos are "Explored" and posted on the Magic Donkey's Hall of Fame Explore Board. Post your images that the Magic Donkey deemed Explore worthy! Include those that have been dropped, doesn't much matter.

Unsure if you've been explored? Ask Scout

Hi Laurie, what you want to do to post an image is select the BBcode instead of the HTML, it will look like this:

Code:
[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/lauriemcgregor/3835721532/][img]http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2501/3835721532_2d6193fb82.jpg[/img][/url]

I've fixed this post for you. Great pic by the way. And don't worry about it being dropped. Flickr's Magic Donkey can be very sensitive to certain things that nobody else cares about - if you add the word "Explored" to the title of the image that can get an image removed from explore. Put it in too many groups, certain groups, groups that request comments (post one comment 3 type groups) and a bunch of other things can get a fantastic attention worthy image removed from explore. Explore is by no means a benchmark of anything except explore itself which is not very meaningful.
