Flickr



Flicker was a little frustrating to set up. First you have to set up a whole new e-mail account with Yahoo and then you get to set up with Flickr. Once I got set up, though, I found downloading my pictures to be quite easy.
The use for libraries would be to post pictures of events and programs to help advertise what is going on in the libraries. Personally, the fact that the pictures are now backed up online is great in case anything happens to the Add Imagehard copies.
Here is the picture I posted on Flickr. It was taken on my trip to Italy with my choir in 2005. This is the "Bridge of Sighs" in Venice. Convicts would walk across the bridge from the left side (court house) to the right side (prison) after their sentence. The view of Venice from the windows was usually their last and they were reported to sigh as they went across. I got to walk across the bridge later that day during a tour of both buildings!

  1. Erin - I am glad you started blogging again - I like your comments on the different lessons, very insightful. I enjoyed reading about the Bridge of Sighs and seeing the picture, and hearing that your Dad has been using Pandora for quite a while!

  2. I recognized this picture from our trip to Venice. Loved it there - want to return.

    Our parents knowing more about something 'new' than us - wonderful! I must try Flickr. Like the idea of backup too.
