THING 6. ONLINE IMAGE GENERATORS

I made a trading card on Big Huge Labs using a picture from Flikr. That wasn't too hard. But when I tried to upload the trading card to my blog, it landed in B's Flikr account. How did that happen? Carol F. figured out how to get it on my blog.

THING 5. SPELL WITH FLIKR

I used Spell with Flikr to spell out "Spring has sprung". I can't get the letters to line up so that one word is on a line. The gs wraparound to the next line. Not only that but the phrase has sprung itself down so that it is below Thing #1. How did that happen? With Carol F's help it is now down the side and below Thing 6.

THING 4

I found a picture in Flickr to add to my blog. Flickr put me to sleep. After searching through screens and screens of pictures, I was glassy-eyed. I wanted to post several photos, but it is time-consuming to look through the pictures. So I settled for one. I was not able to download one of the pictures I wanted, probably because the owner doesn't allow downloads.

Editing the blog with Flickr is very frustrating as well as time-consuming. I can't get the text to go where I want it. Why isn't the the text in the same place on the preview screen as it is on the editing screen?

THING 3. RSS

I set up an RSS account with Google reader. I added news feeds and some blogs. This was fairly easy to do. What surprised me is that the feeds don't look like the websites. When I first set up the account last week, I didn't see any graphics. That was disappointing. Today when I looked at the feeds again, there are graphics. I haven't been looking at the feeds everyday.
