(All sing together)...Flickr, flickr, flickr the bush kangaroo

Tonight I've been trying to figure out Flickr. I'm still not sure if it's a dolphin, kangaroo or other kind of animal. I think I'll stick with my 3rd option.....

If I wasn't so photo security conscious I think I could get into this. I really liked the "last 7 days" option on Flickr, and I think that some/most of the photos there are awesome. The colors and angles are great. Even the most mundane subject matter is given a new view.

Only problems I've had tonight are: 1) trying to get the fonts to work in my favour 2) figuring out how to edit blogs and 3) figuring out how to use Flickr blogging to add interesting pictures.... I need help...

I also had a look at Big Hue Labs Trading Cards, particularly the Librarian ones. Some look really fun. One use I saw is for a school (?) library's students to get to know its' staff. Perhaps something like this might be fun for our staff or patrons????

I could also get used to this for creating birthday cards of the family!!!

Hi Josie. well done! It's a bit addictive isn't it. Give Monique a call - she's an absolute Flickr Whizz and could offer some "how to's".
CYA,

Love the trading cards idea - we could use them to put a face on library staff - online!

Love Flickr! I also have paranoid problems with photos on net, but can do some wonderful things with pics on big huge labs to disguise the kids and have it in a public place - warholizer is a bit of fun with a fave pic!
