One of its features is an album, letting you organize photos by category or theme. Album contents can be viewed using auto-slideshow mode, or click-to-advance. Follow these steps to add Flickr albums to your Story Maps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Open your Flickr photo album<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Login to your Flickr account, and click Albums to view your available photo albums.
