Thing 8

I spent an inordinate amount of time on this thing. I fancied myself a bit of an amateur photographer. Now, I know the emphasis is on amateur. There are many talented photographers with beautiful pictures on Flickr. It could be a lot of fun just checking and browsing here.

I've always been frustrated when trying to share pictures with my friends and family because of the size limit of email attachments.

That problem has been solved!

I'm delighted to find out about Flickr and will use and share it with my family.

As far as posting images to my blog. I soon became frustrated. I began talking to myself, arguing with the monitor, and casting about the library for a techie kid who could bail me out (a secret weapon I've used in the past). Unfortunately, only the bookish ones were out and about during my melt down. (They're a little worried about me).

Finally I was able to post my Hermit Crab picture to my blog only by selecting it from my USB drive. I could not use the Flickr URL to save my life. I also couldn't find my pic on Flickr unless I was logged into my account and looking at my photostream. I never did see the "blog this" link.

If anyone can set me straight on this, I could use some help. Thanks!
