Flickr'd some images from SK

I've heard of Flickr, and now that I have some photos saved to the laptop, I could use them. I had a yahoo account already, so used that to jump into Flickr. Downloaded a couple of files and when I edited one to brighten it up and improve the focus, I added another one, just to edit it using picnik (or is it piknic). Then I created a short slide show. I found the Flickr very easy to use, very intuitive. I can see myself inviting my friends to share some of my travel photos. We could use slideshows to highlight library events, or our branches, when we have a booth at a public event.

Yes! I have been wanting to do a Flickr slideshow of the branches. How great would that be?

I started thinking of a possible downside to this. You'd have to have a live Internet connection to be able to display anything on Flickr. So you couldn't make it a "canned" thing, like with PowerPoint.

I suppose you could always put a link from the library home page. Something to think about, I guess...

Welcome one and all to my blogg said...

Way to go one step further and create a slideshow! Beautiful pictures too!
