Week 8- Demonstration of new knowledge: Fooling Around with Flikr

I spent a little time this evening fooling around with Flikr. I chose to install Flikr software on my computer in order to facilitate the uploading of photos. The installation went off without a hitch (always a relief considering my already overburdened computer) and uploading photos was relatively quick and easy. Although I have not yet explored the full range of options, the site offers some interesting choices for organizing, describing and tagging photos. They have also partnered up with Snapfish so that, for a cost, you can create calendars, photobooks, cards and all kinds of other fun stuff. By making my photos "public", I was able to embed a short slideshow of them in my blog. These photos were taken during our little town's summer Ladysmith Days Parade...enjoy!
