MLA homework week 6 (note: out of order; posted after week-7 entry)


Photoshariing through Flickr. Here's the photo I'm trying to share.... these are two lambs from several years ago, from our friends in the country. I don't think they were more than a day or two old at this point.
I had a lot of trouble with this exercise, but not because of Flickr. Well, first I tried to register at a time when it wasn't happy, so that delayed me a bit. But the main problem was figuring out how to work within the software that came with my digital camera, to pluck out just one photo and park it someplace where I could find it to use with Flickr. This probably shows you how little i've actually done with the digital photos I take.... not unlike how little I usually did with the film photos I took. Anyway, once I got past that, adding the photo to Facebook took some fussing, but adding it here was easy.
In my library? Adding photos to a library blog would be an easy way to highlight new services, new staff members, etc. -- even new books, by taking a photo of the cover,though there are probably easier ways to do that. Any sort of museum would find this useful too.
