I forgot to blog about posting a picture to Flickr. I have used Flickr to look at sewing and art projects, but I never had any interest in using it myself. I’m still not sure how the library would use it, but as the yearbook advisor for our school, I am very excited about creating a place where parents can upload photos of sporting events and other school happenings that we can draw from for the yearbook. I would also love to get my family to use Flickr - we live far apart and tend to get out of touch with what our children are doing, how tall they are growing, how deep the snow is way up here in Vermont etc. This would be an easy way to share our pictures.

I loved the Color Pickr. I always enjoy arranging things by color - kind of a dangerous hobby for a librarian!! I have no idea what use I could find for it, but after this very gray and snowy day all that color was a treat.
Retrievr is also fun, but since it lets me find photos based on my sketching abilities, I don’t think I’ll be retrieving many photos!! I drew what I thought was a pretty nice picture of poppies and got everything from people to umbrellas -everything that is except poppies!

It was difficult to know how to get this word from the Spell with Flickr website to my blog. I ended up copying the code and pasting it right into my blog after I clicked the tab that said code. I don’t know how this would work in other applications, but I’m glad I can actually see it here.
