Getting the photo of your shadow on the IPY Day map takes two steps:

A. Uploading the photo to the web, using a free Flickr account.
B. Placing the photo on the map using a free Tagzania account.

A. Uploading the photo to the web, using a free Flickr account.

1. If you don't already have a Flickr account, you'll need to sign up at http://www.flickr.com/


2. Log on to Flickr.com.


3. Click on "Upload photos".


4. Upload your photo using the default settings.


5. Remember the URL (web address) of the photo's page on Flickr. It looks something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/yourusername/987654321/

B. Placing the photo on the map using a free Tagzania account.

1. If you don't already have a Tagzania account, you'll need to register at http://www.tagzania.com/


2. Log on to Tagzania.com.


3. At the top right of the page, click on "post" among the available options to place a new placemark on the map. On the next screen, select "point", not "route".


4. Find the location on the map where you want to add your placemark, either by searching for a place name, typing in coordinates or zooming into it on the map.


5. Add a (required) title for your placemark -- perhaps the name of your school.


6. Add an (optional) text description -- perhaps explaining how the experiment went.


7. Add the URL of the Flickr photo page to the "resources" field. You can add more than one photo, if you like.


8. Important: Add "ipyday2007" to the "tags" field. This will ensure that your placemark shows up on the communal map.


9. Be sure to click on the "save" button when you've entered all your data.

You have now placed a photo of your experiment on the map. You can see the most recent 200 photos of all experiments submitted by schools around the world below:
