"Speak Up" is the new "Shhh..."

I found this photo on FlickrStorm http://zoo-m.com/flickr-storm. I searched "libraries" in Photos for non-commercial use. I thought it was a really cool photo and very appropriate for Learning 2.0. Uploading it was a bit of an adventure. I started by opening it in Flickr then tried the "Blog this" button, but Google rejected my attempts to configure my blog, so I then tried to upload it in Blogger. Again no success, so I saved a copy to my computer and uploaded it from there which was finally successful.

One thing I have learned not only from this course but in anything to do with computers and the internet, is that there is more than one way to skin a cat and that if one way doesn't work, just be patient and try something else. I usually get there in the end.

Week 3: Flickr

I already had a Flickr account (which I haven't used much) and I had previously loaded some of the photos that are not for commercial use from the site to play around with, so I knew how to tag, describe and organise photos, but hadn't done this with any of my own. So now I've uploaded some of my own photos to play around with. I realised they were all marked "public" so did a batch edit to change them all to "private" - must remember to do this in future.



Look forward to using this tool more often as I can see how it will be really useful for us to make library photos available, both our local history photos, but also photos of events held at the library.



I'm really enjoying the Library 2.0 program and look forward to the future "things" I will learn. The structure and prsentation of the program are great and it is suitable for both beginners and those who know a little about it already. There is always so much more to learn.

Beginnings

Well, that wasn't so hard. Once I sorted out the difference between my name, my blog's name and the url the rest was easy. Looking forward to learning more things
