-- I changed the picture of Peggy to sepia. The tools are kind of fun to play around with, but some of the choices are just strange (e.g., clouds).

flickr does have some cool options. Just witness this cool librarian, waiting at his post to serve the patrons.

I have a difficult time finding my way around flickr for anything other than just uploading photos. I like the card, though.

What are these girls looking at?

Week 3, Flickr

Yea!! Thanks to iStar's very helpful directions, I was finally successful in posting a picture directly from Flickr to my blog. That procedure was more difficult (at least for me) than just posting from my computer. Now I see how it can be much easier if you have your pics posted on Flickr. Thank you, iStar!-

Week 3, Flickr

I created a Flickr account previously, but I have not used it very much. When I first created it, we could download only about 5 pictures before our account was full for the month. I'm glad to know that we can now download more pictures.

This is a picture that was taken during the summer of 1965. Does anyone have an idea what these girls are looking at (or looking for)?

Week 2: Creating a blog

Week 2, #2: I am new to the concept of posting my information and thoughts on the web, and I am hesitant to do so now. The video of the young girl who had posted a questionable video of herself is a very good reminder of how public and how potentially dangerous and damaging the web can be. I have never been a blogger, and I am not convinced of the benefits. I don't like the idea of placing my words into a format that cannot be recalled. However, I can see that creating a place where people of similar interests can share ideas could be a fun endeavor, particularly with tools that are so easy to use. This is a new experience, and hopefully I will learn from it.

Right now, I like the idea of anonymity. I am somewhere in the picture above. This is about as public as I wish to be at this point. I will add items to my profile as the days progress.

I do like the idea of sharing likes and dislikes, and I will add a favorite book every few days.

Week 2, #3: I am very impressed at how easy it is to create a blog with blogspot! This could be a lot of fun. I'm eager to add elements to it.
