Best thing to do far as I'm concerned: 1- create a free acct on flickr for experimenting with. That gives you plenty of storage and a certain number of sets to work with.
2- create a new catalog with a bunch of photos you might want to post in it. 3- from there you can play with and learn the flickr and LR behavior. Once you understand how everything behaves, you'll know enough to say whether you can use the setup.
