Flickr says today's changes should make it easier to get uploaded photos to all corners of the web -- wherever those corners happen to be and even when you're not a logged-in Flickr user.

"We’ve added Tumblr as a share destination and are retiring native support of some existing blogs," Flickr's Zack Sheppard wrote on the company blog. "You can always check out the App Garden for other ways to get your photos out there on the Internet!"

"Upload one, share everywhere" is the idea behind the new features. Sharing options will take a prominent new place on your photo pages, and you'll be able to share groups of photos -- including sets, collections and entire photo streams -- to several social sites as well as sharing them via email.

The service also now allows users to share non-public content and grouped photos to Facebook. Public photos can also be automatically shared to Facebook as soon as they're uploaded.

And you can now share photos to Twitter and Facebook even when you're signed out of Flickr.

Here are screenshots of the new sharing options:
