It is with great pleasure that we announce the arrival of the "Hall of Fame" feature that has come to North East Buses!
We at North East Buses are always looking to enhance the Social Media interaction with our website. The North East Buses Hall of Fame adds a new dimension of sharing content with members of the community, and we believe that this feature will be vastly used by those of us who take photographs.
Are you proud of a recent photograph you have taken? By simply tagging your photo with 'NEBuses' on Flickr, your photograph will be displayed on our Hall of Fame which contains 50 photographs. See below for a step-by-step tutorial on how to display your photograph on our Hall of Fame page:
1. Tag your photo with 'NEBuses'. Capitalisation of the letters does not matter - it will work regardless. Do not put a space in between 'NE' and 'Buses', because that will be a different tag and it will not work!
2. Once you press Enter on your keyboard, this tag will be added to the tags that have already been added to the photograph. In the screenshot below, I have no other tags to that photograph apart from 'NEBuses'.
3. When Flickr updates the tag to its system, your photograph will be displayed on Flickr Search when you type in 'NEBuses'. Flickr aspires to update itself so that newly added tags are displayed in approximately five minutes, but can sometimes take longer than that. If it doesn't happen within five minutes or so, check back within an hour and it should be done.
4. As soon as Flickr updates the tag, your photograph will be displayed on the Hall of Fame. This is instantaneous and relies on no further input from you. Do note that if your photograph is not recent, it may not be displayed. Only the fifty most recently taken photographs will be displayed on this page.
While we have no limitations on the number of photos you can upload to our Hall of Fame, we request that members do not abuse this facility and allow for other members to also post their photographs. It's not a competition, so we needn't be selfish! 50 photographs are displayed on the Hall of Fame, so that's more than enough for everyone. At present, you will notice that a substantial proportion of the photographs have been taken by me, but this was just done to "fill up the wall" so to speak, until we released the feature to everyone. If someone uploads a photograph that was taken before the very last item on the wall of photographs, the last one will be replaced, every photo will move along one, and your photo will be slotted in at the appropriate date taken.
You can access the Hall of Fame by clicking here. An additional link will be provided on the navigation bar in due course.
Many thanks, and stay tuned for further updates.
