Thing 5: Big Huge Labs

This is my photo jigsaw puzzle! I really like the Big Huge Labs site! So many great things to do - I must get more photos so I can try them - after I finish the 23 Things on a stick.

Thing 5: Mash ups

I really enjoyed the spell mash up - plan to use that one again. The rest of the top 10 mash ups - not so impressed. retrievr - I don't really get it. Tagnautica - blocked by the filter so I will try again at home. Captioner! - so very frustrated with this one - absolutely no directions, I need directions of some sort. I was successful in getting the caption onto a picture - although it would have been nice to be able to work with the balloon a bit (change sizes or direction), but I was unable to save it and then see the caption on the saved photo. I tried many times to put my captioned photo into a blog - but after 3 different photos and many, many attempts - sorry you all don't get to see the captioned photo. I looked at Flappr and think it might be worth looking into more if I had more photos on this computer to work with. I glanced at the other Mash ups, but didn't feel that any others would be useful to me.

Thing 5: Fun with Flickr - spell

This is a great tool - I could use this for scrapbooking, posters, newsletters, etc. I can't wait to try it in other places and see how it works out. I had to add it to my post a couple of times and preview it before I remembered to paste it into the edit html. Sometimes reading all the directions works better. I think this could be very useful to students - I plan to talk to the yearbook committee today.

Thing 4: Flickr

A couple things about Flickr - and perhaps it is only because I haven't taken enough time to really check out the site as much as I want to -
I saw that they suggest you resize your photos before you upload them, but I didn't see the place where you could do that. I am also wondering if there is a way to choose the size of the displayed photo. I will keep looking as I work through Things 5 & 6. Maybe the answers are already out there in those things - but I tend to do things in order and haven't looked ahead.

I like the idea of Flickr. I am fairly new to digital photography. I truly love to make my own photos - but time is usually in short supply and my kids get bigger faster than I get my pictures done. SO....digital has saved me and this appears to be a great tool. I think that it will take a lot more looking into before I can appreciate it. I am hoping to find the time to check this out and finish all 23 Things too!
