10. Additional things to consider: 1. Once you add a photo to your gallery, a one-time message (Flickr email) will be sent to the photographer to notify them. 2. There is a maximum of 18 photos per gallery. 3. Be specific on which photos you choose. 4. You cannot choose photos from your own photostream. 5. Don’t worry about photo licensing since all the photos are still housed in Flickr. 6. You cannot get an RSS feed of your galleries. ie: cannot use on your website or Facebook page.
