Reflections on Flickr

O.K. So I'm not as fluent as I thought. I set up the Flickr account with no trouble. Added several photos from my 40th Reunion in Lake Chelan this September. I grouped them, then sent them (I think!) to my best school friend and brother. I should be able to do this some other way, I'm sure, but I used their site and sent the photos off with the invitation for my friend and brother to join Flickr. Does this happen every time you send photos? I tried to sent them via my comcast mail site, but couldn't do it. I guess if I have to transfer all my contacts (friends and family) to my new yahoo mail account....I won't be using this much. I already download photos in my shared documents and can easily send them to whomever I wish via my e-mail. I will have to explore other features on this website. I'm sure it offers much more than I've seen so far.

I'm actually getting RSS

I can't believe I just cruised through this assignment. It's true what they say about "practice makes perfect". O.K. So many of my attempts were not perfect, but it's definitely been easier maneuvering through all these new websites and I'm actually retaining most of the information. All these sites are so new to me. I never knew they were out there...let alone knew how to use them. This whole exercise has really given me a lot to think about. I just wish I had more time to spend on my computer.
