You could use Picasa to pixelate a portion of an image:

First time trying to use Flickr. Seems like they have a new beta version for uploading pics and I don't see the option to share where it gives you a BBCode link. Any help?

The share options are from the image page, but the upload page. The new site design looks a bit different that the screenshots in the tutorial, but the buttons and options remain pretty much the same.

Ah, I was looking at the upload page. Only had share via FB, Twitter, etc. options. Thank you!

It's right underneath the Twitter button.

Flickr changed their layout a but since this tutorial was written, so some options have moved around a bit.

One of those days I'll update everything with current screenshot.

Looks like an issue on your end, maybe your browser.

This is what you should see:

I don't know what to say, other than something isn't right. Certain buttons aren't showing up for you for some reason...

If you're comfortable with it, feel free to PM me your login info with a temp password or something and I could have a look, see if I could figure it out.

I write it as a PM to myself. This let's me format it properly from the very beginning and I could save my work easily by hitting send.

You can always click on "preview" before posting.

See instructions again, basically cut most of the link.
