Thing 3 - Photo Sharing

I have a Snapfish account and use a Picassa album for a group I'm in so I was interested in finding out about Flickr. I signed up for an account and posted a set from a recent author visit by Nancy Castaldo, to our school. (See pictures which was easy to link to my Blogger account using Flickr's blogging tool.)

I also explored some of the pictures and decided to search for golf in Alaska. My son is moving to Valdez, Alaska in June. I'd like to try to golf when I'm there for a visit, but certainly not in conditions like the one I choose to display on my blog page. I was unable to add this one to the body of this blog. I think the owner of the photo has it protected. But, it worked fine using Flickr's blogging tool and gave all the proper credit to the photographer automatically. 

I have more to learn about Flickr before I decide whether or not I'll continue to use it for the library photos. For personal use, I will continue with Snapfish since they have all the options to create albums, calendars, mugs, etc.
