FOr those of you who never created a mosaic before, here are some pointers I've found handy. Please add anything you have found that helps you out also.

First you go to bighugelabs.com/ and click Mosaic maker.
Then what I do is open a second window with Flickr in it. Go back to the mosaic maker and figure out how many photos you want to include in your mosaic. If you are new at this I would recommend starting with about 12 until you get the hang of it.

Then, what I do is go in my Flickr window, find the photo I want to add, and highlight the URL at the top of the page, right click, hit copy, then jump back to the Mosaic page and hit paste into the slot. Then jump back into the Flickr page, find the next photo and so on.... be sure to NEVER hit the back button on your Mosaic page, you will loose all info already added there.

Once you fill all your slots, hit "create". When your mosaic opens, if there are empty holes in it, that means that particular photo is protected, and you can't use it. So don't hit "back", but instead hit EDIT at the top of the screen. It will take you back, and you can delete the bad photo and you can add a new URL, in the same method as before.

Once you have you mosaic complete, click Share, and it will ask you if you want to add it to Flickr, and you will have to give it permission. Just follow the prompts at this point. Good luck.
