Today, I signed up for a Flickr account. I could use my google account to get this started so no new username or password. Thank goodness!!The first step was setting up my buddy icon. This is usually just a square with a happy face, but I decided to download one of my photos and make that my buddy icon instead. That worked fine! The next step was to set up the custom URL. So here is my URL: http://www.flickr.com/photos/valeriesb/ After that I could personalize my profile, but I chose not to at that time. That seems to be all to it.
While I was there I decided to upload some fieldtrip photos of students from previous years. That took a few minutes, but I liked how green check marks came up when they were done. I decided to give the photos titles and write a brief description on each photo. After a short break I uploaded some Halloween party photos from my class or 2006. I didn't have any problems there. I still haven't figured out how to put them in galleries or sets yet. That is a job for another day. Since I am not teaching this year I plan on sharing this site with the teacher at my school who will be doing a Power Point Presentation for the Grade 9s Leaving Ceremony. My students will want to see those photos for sure!
Till next time,
Val
p.s. guess there is some way to set up a link to this page? That's my next challenge!
Great photos! Thanks for sharing the link to your photostream on flickr!
