Learning about Flickr-Thing 5

Today's assignment was to explore the world of Flickr, an online photo sharing/organizing site which my husband prefers to PhotoBucket. We used PhotoBucket to make our family calendar this year. Photos came from San Luis Obispo, California; Ft Myers, Florida; Mansfield, Massachusetts; Lowell, Michigan; and Lakeview, Michigan. My brother in West Virginia compiled all the photos into our 2008 Family Calendar.
When I think of how complicated this task was before we could electronically share photos, it just makes me tired! We started out mailing photos for reproduction, then we graduated to sending floppy discs, then CDs, then we just emailed jpegs, and finally we've come to the shared PhotoBucket. Who knows what future service will make creating our yearly family calendar even easier!!!??? I can't even guess.
I will post photos of my Bob the Builder program scheduled for Wednesday, January 9. It should be a fun program and I'm hoping I'll have a willing parent photo-bug, 'cause I'll be too busy showing my gang how Bob (and I) build!
