Our Auxiliary WOW websites limit how many photos and images you can store on the WOW web server.  If you want to create photo albums of events and activities, you need to host those images on a different server.  Flickr is one place that you can host images for free with certain limitations.

The free account at Flickr:

• Can host up to 1000 images
• Images must be public, viewable by anyone and everyone
• Content that is generally acceptable to a global, public audience. Nothing sexual, violent, or graphic including no bloody or gory photos
  

The US Coast Guard has its own Flickr account.  Photos on the Coast Guard account may be used on your websites.  https://www.flickr.com/people/coast_guard/

The Public Affairs Directorate has several sources of images that you can use on Auxiliary websites.  Visit https://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=A-DEPT&category=video-audio-media to view what is available.

The Safe Boating Council has photos for boating safety. All photos are free for use to promote boating and water safety. Please credit the National Safe Boating Council.  https://www.safeboatingcouncil.org/resources/photo-library/ and https://safeboatingcampaign.com/resources/.

Unsplash is a site that is a source of  free photos. You need to include an attribution byline on photos you use.  Visit https://unsplash.com/

To add the class finder to a flotilla web page create an article.  The article should be the last one on the page.  Edit the article and change it to HTML view.  Paste the following text into the article:

  <iframe id="classfinder" allow="geolocation" src="https://edept.cgaux.org/finder/findclasses.php?classes=BA" width="700" height="4500" style="padding:0px; margin: 0px; border:none;"> Iframes not supported</iframe>

 This creates a 4500 pixel long window for the class results.  Any preamble should be a separate  article ahead of the class finder.
