Setting Up Your Accounts

The first time you create a MobileMe, Flickr, or Facebook album, Aperture prompts you
to enter your account information. If you don’t have an account with the website, you
can create one.

After you’ve entered your account settings, you can begin publishing images to
the websites.

In this section, you’ll set up and sign in to a MobileMe trial account and a Flickr account.
