Wow!

Not only has the membership of "1 Million" reached 1000, it's nearing the 1500 mark!
I'd just like to say a big thank you to the new members who are inviting all there contacts to participate.

The quality of the images in the pool is outstanding, check out the new slideshow.

And while Im here, Happy New Year everyone!

Incoming!

After a bit of a lull, we've had an injection of over 200 new members!
Welcome to you all...

We are looking for suggestions for the Charity or Charities that we are going to support, and you can post your ideas onto the flickr forum.

400 Members!

Well, we reached and passed the 400 members mark recently which I am really happy about.
There are some fantastic images in the group pool already, and the standard is pretty high.
I've noticed a couple of Millionaires replacing their images with "better" ones, so it must be an incentive to get better pictures into the pool.
Our next landmark is 500 members, so join the group and get your friends and family involved as well.
Remember, it's all for Charity!

Official 1 Million website launches

Another few minutes spare, so I decided to take the bull by the horns and create an "Official" website for the 1 Million group.
Not sure what anyone's expecting from it, so I'm welcome to suggestions for improvements.

I'd like to make more use of the flickr API to get the pool images into the site better, rather than having to rely on the temperamental flickr slideshow. However, my knowledge of API's and such like is limited to say the least - so any help would be appreciated.

The website is hosted as a subsite of my own, but I have not placed any links back or adverts on the 1 Million site as I didnt think it would be in the spirit of the group.

Here's the link: Official 1 Million Website

Love to know what you think? Love it or hate it?

1 Million Blog begins

Welcome to the 1 Million Blog.
This is an exciting project that uses the flickr community to work together to achieve a common goal: 1 million members = 1 million photos.

Our aim is to use this massive collection of the best images on flickr in a series of books available to purchase, with all profits going to Charity.
We also hope that we will be able to hold exhibitions to raise awareness.

If you want to get involved with this mind-boggling project, go to the Official Website or the group page on flickr: 1 Million
