Jennie, Great much needed info! Thank you. Is it permissible to add a Flickr badge to a U of M website that links to a specific Flickr page used by a department? Is there a page that explains the proper way to link to social networking sites (on a U of M website)? If not, that would be really useful. Any info would be much appreciated.
