Thing # 7--Part 2

This is the rest of Thing #7. The first post did work out and I was able to post a picture from Flickr. I was also able to delete the test Flickr post that I did that I didn't want! So, that was good. I watched the Flickr video and agree that the program seems to be a great way to back up pictures. I was excited to try it out, but did have some difficulties. I decided to choose option #2. I downloaded 5 pictures of Jasmine, tagged them, made a set, and sent one of them to the 23 Thingsters group. That part was easy. The hard part was posting the picture to my blog. I think I need a little more practice on that part because posting that picture was pretty accidental and I don't know if I can do it again!!! This is the most frustrating thing to do for me so far.

I will use Flickr for my personal pictures, especially my scouting pictures. I searched the tags for Boy Scouts of America and found many, many pictures. I think this would be a great way to share pictures of scouting and meet new friends. I have never used another photo hosting service, so I don't have anything to compare. I will probably look at some of the others, just for fun. I don't mind having pictures of my cat out there for everyone to see, but I will be careful about other pictures due to privacy concerns.
