Avatars

Good morning,

I went to avatars.yahoo and created my own person. Now to figure out how to place it (her) on my blog. If anyone can help me, please do. I work best with some pointing out the direction.

How was everyone's weekend? I had hoped to work on the flickr site during the weekend, but ended up spending most of my time outside. It was just so nice out! We did more work on our barn so it is almost ready for winter and had a nice Sunday afternoon with friends.

Week 3.5 - Picture

Well, I did it. I got a picture on my blog site. I set up a Flickr account and did upload a picture to it, but I didn't figure out how to get that picture to my blog site. This picture of my horse, Viking, was on my computer.

It's baby steps for me.

Flickr

Ok, so today I had a chance to look at the Flickr sight and learned a number of things. Flickr is an online photo management and sharing tool and it looks really cool. You can do a lot of things with it like "tag" your photo with a name, like a picture of a horse would be tagged "horse" and then it would be found with other photos of horses. You can also establish or join a "group" of people who have a common interest such as "horses". If you set up your own group you can set the privacy level to allow people to view your photos. This group can also have a discussion board.

One of the things I found exciting besides sharing my photos with family who live across the country is that I can also make things lik calendars, moo cards and postage stamps with my photos. I'd like to make a post card of our new house to send as a notice to family and friends that we have moved. I can even map my house if I want too but that might be too much information on the net. I hope to get on board with this this weekend.

So much to do and learn. Wish me luck in learning how.

Until nest time.

Week 3?

Oh my gosh. I feel behind already. I just did some work on my profile and that was part of last week's assignment. I got the photo part and felt over whelmed. I don't even know how to download my pictures from the camera to the computer. I'd better get busy. Say how did some of your get the character picture on your profile. Did I miss that too, or are you just ahead of the game?

Later you bloggers you.
