IT's a <strong>big</strong> job!! My sets are growing as well, but in a way it's kind of what I expected not having more general-themes sets. I actually like the fact that my photos are in more than one sets, then I can put them wherever they fit.... The map looks cool; I might put some of my travel photos there too :D Hope you enjoys the weekend! Wow, you have done the very job I postpone to do!! IT’s a big job!!

Some of my sets have overlapping photos too. For example, my dining out-2006 set has photos that are also in the friends and family sets. My Art-2006 set has overlapping shots with vacations, and friends, and famiy. Etc.. I'm not sure me organizing into sets helps anyone, even myself. I had this delusion for a while that because I put all my flower shots in one set, that folks would find one, and peruse all the others. That apparently doesn't happen often, unless they are browsing only at the set level. Now I'm convinced that a few folks will actually check out a whole set, but more often I think folks will only check out adjacent photos in the stream that catch their eye. Still, I've tried to keep my sets meaningful and not overly specific. Heck, a couple of my sets are basically redundant to tags on the photos, but I like being able to find all my flower picks without having to find just one to start my search. Did any of that help? Also, I've not checked out geo-tagging in flickr yet. Glad you like it. I keep adding sets to answer part of your question. Some of my sets have overlapping photos too.
