I think providing multiple methods -- like email, blog comments, is good thing -- unless it is a very small group of collaborators. I had used the commentors flickr photo - "CC BY license" and he stopped to say thanks. And the Flickr Inspector also gives you a meaningless score too. Why bother? Good question.

For the past six years I have spent 50 to 60 hours a week utilizing Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, LinkedIn, and Foursquare to promote nonprofits. Not creating Flickr slideshows to tell your nonprofit’s story. Not blogging. Blogging is the glue that holds your social-media strategy together.

One of the most common challenges my juicy blogging clients and students have is that they want more clarity around what to write about on their blog. Creating a Juicy Blogging Vision Board is a fun and effective way to help you figure out why you're blogging, who you're trying to reach, and what to write about.

Marnie Webb asks a great question: Wonder what flickr has to do with nonprofits? Or maybe the question should be what can nonprofits do with flickr as answered in the comments. Nonprofits could use flickr to document and share a process with colleagues or staff in a remote office, similar to how these educators are using flickr.

A (blog) conversation strategy is how you support and nurture a conversation on your blog in the comments. It is a combination of how you will comment on other blogs, how you track the conversation, and how you respond to comments on your blog. I recently commented on Emily Williamson's blog.

If the photo is of, say, a TV screen showing a newscast or a newspaper page showing a staff photo, then you still might be liable for copyright violation despite the terms of the CC license listed on Flickr or elsewhere. Does the Flickr user really have rights to the image? In that case, their CC license is invalid.
