Wouldn’t it be nice to have a set that updates every day and contains all images with the tags “kid” and “school”? There is a way. In fact one can create sorted sets based on many criteria. Random, most interesting, least interesting, newest, oldest are a few of the ways one can sort the sets. These parameters are updated to your flickr.com sets every day (if you choose) or you can create a ‘one-off’ set that stays the way it is.
You need go to an external site for this, but once you authorize with flickr.com your good to go. You create the sets at the website and the website creates the set for you on flickr.com. They are very easy to use and create.
The power lies once you have your sets created using tags. They update every day, or you can manually update them from the site (see below). Now all you have to do is upload your images to flickr.com and ensure they all have appropriate tags. For example all of my black and white work is tagged “B&W” and then “film” or “digital”. One dynamic set is built with all images containing both “B&W” and “film” and another with images tagged “B&W” and “digital”. When I upload and tag my images via the flickr.com uploader they all appear in the correct set automatically at the next refresh! This makes maintaining your site very easy.
