How to upload photos to Flickr from iPhoto

"How can I upload photos from iPhoto to my Flickr account on my Mac?"

There are several ways you can upload photos to Flickr from iPhoto, although several of them are convoluted. One way is to export photos from iPhoto to a folder on your Mac and then use the Flickr upload page to individually select each photo. Flickr recommends a $15 utility to automate the process, but you don't need to pay anything. There is a great free way to upload photos to Flickr automatically without ever leaving iPhoto.
