Does anyone have any tips and tricks they use for keeping their digital photos organized? We have quite a catalog of photos, and it's hard to keep them organized. i do have some things i do to try to stay organized, but i always fall behind.

I know we've discussed this before, but I struggle with the same problem. I think maybe the best system would be to firstly use Picasa from google. Because that makes finding pictures so much easier. If you were brave you could let Picasa run the whole show because it lets you do things like Flickr (tagging, timeline, etc) and then get one of the Picasa to Flickr exporter and edit everything in Picasa (tags descriptions and all) and then when you upload it would add that meta data to your flickr account.
The good thing about it is it doesn't mess with your current file structure. So you can try it out at low risk.
But one of my photographer friends suggested something a little more mundane: adopt a simple file structure,
Year->Month->Download Date->
Then in that directory you can have your raw and your touched up files in two directories.
Picasa would work in a rigid system like this so you could get the best of both worlds. A file system that you can structure and have be the same everytime you shoot a roll, and a searchable, metadata-addable, quick browseable nature of picasa.
But I'm on a Mac and use iPhoto. And haven't adopted a file structure I describe so these are more ideas than good advice from experience.
Good luck.
I agree on the Picasa. I love it.
