Thing 5: Mr. Shoe Thinks Flickr Is Just All Right with Him.

So now I have to blog about my brand spanking new Flickr account. For anyone who might looks at this, I am going to have some fun with these accounts. I can’t seem to keep myself from doing that, so why bother? I found Flickr to be fairly easy to begin using. I had to play with it a little to create a flow in the photos that I am using. There seems to be loads of functionality that are outside the parameters of what I have an interest in. Getting the images into this here blog so I can blog about blogging about them was none too hard either. For anyone who might see these images, enjoy.

In as far as looking at other photo sharing websites, like the 23 Things @ NEFLIN mentioned Picasa, I did flirt with using that briefly, since it is created by Google. I was interested in not creating a separate account (for my own sanity), but to the best of my understanding there needs to be some kind of software downloaded in order to use it. Since I access these accounts from various computers at work, it seemed prohibitive to need specific software just to put photos on the web. Of course, I could have misread the info on the Picasa sign up page and the software is not needed to do online basic photo hosting, but when I took a look at Flickr, it seemed more intuitive to start using, so I went with Flickr. And here is a photo from the album I created.



Very Scary, Right?

Also, I put a widget on the top left hand corner of my blog that directs you, or whoever, to The Wild Adventures of Mr. Shoe in the Library. Next up, playing around with other image stuff.
