Is it tagged as "family pictures"?
No! Just with the first names. The photo does have 'butler' in the title so maybe it's butler fetishists who are into it!
Flickr has an interestingness algorithm with which they rank all the pictures. If your pic rates high, you appear on their Explore Interesting page, and lots of people have the opportunity to click on them.
Yeah, this picture wasn't on the Explore page.
Anyway, I made it viewable by friends and family only. Which kind of sucks because a lot of people who I'd want to be able to see it (like, say, my brother) aren't on flickr.
I'm not that bothered by click throughs
I wouldn't be if it was a picture of me or a picture of my band or something. But because it's kids it freaks me out a little.
from what (very little) I know of the interest in choirboy/Little Lord Fauntleroy types, they mostly want to be a pretty little angelboy.
People are very odd, aren't they?
Not Work Safe
I appreciate the warning. But I'm so curious!
In totally unrelated news, my mother and I bonded over our chronic watching of Criminal Intent, Vincent D'Onofrio's changing appearance, and Nicole's overall ickiness. And then she confessed to watching a reality show whose name I shall not speak. I was shocked, and a little gleeful.

There are also a lot of external apps which search flickr and present thumbnails to their users (as I learnt with the Star Trek post). So any random thing that gets the picture out in front of an appreciative audience can jack your numbers right up, and that will pull your set numbers up too, since some people will be looking for more of same.
I've found that linking in Buffistas provides many more hits than I'd have expected--the lurkers are out there, and they're clicking links.
Linking here or in LJ provides most of my hits. I think more than I got either time Lillian was featured on Blogging Baby.
Damn, ita, after clicking through some pictures, I am once again struck by how your whole family is gorgeous.
Because I trust you guys, it's this picture:
Ahahahaha. I love you all, and I still think of this place as a safe-ish space, but it is most definitely not as private (or as safe) as we seem to think it is. Trust me.
Flickr - I friends-lock most of my pictures, and private-lock a whole bunch. I've gotten some random requests from tights communities (literally, all opaque tights) and such.
Hmmm...normally I wouldn't watch anything remotely related to Rockstar Curling (I mean...seriously?). Mostly because I just hate reality TV. I will admit to getting sucked into a season of the Amazing Race but that was an aberration. =P BUT, I am now 31 years old and I have been a fan of Bon Jovi (the band, not just the lead singer) since I was about nine years old. So, if JBJ hosted I would probably have to force myself to watch or deny the show's existence. I think I would prefer the latter. On the up side, on A Daily Show last night John Stewart said, pending a vote, the writers should be back on Wednesday. That is the best news I have heard in months.
you've met people right?
People. They mess stuff up for the rest of us.
