My comments on the course: Week 2: Flickr

I'm not sure I could go through that process again! Had to set up a Yahoo a/c, then it wouldn't recognize me, but reluctantly changed its mind and let me in. Then I could set up the Flickr a/c and found all the decision making about who, how & what it should look like and what public account names I should choose fairly exhausting. Then I couldn't find the button to "blog this" photo anywhere...it was pointed out to me by another blogger that I had to click on the picture first to bring all those options up on screen, but this is not mentioned anywhere that I can see on the Flickr site.....bad website design when they don't cater for the complete idiot. Slowing getting over my post trauma and am pretty happy with what I've managed to get up on my blog. I don't think I'll go near "gadgets" yet......

  1. Yes, I found it a bit confusing as well, I had to go through it a few times before I understood what I was doing, just playing around and seeing what would happen.... I made a few mistakes along the way but evenutally did manage to get it to work for me.

  2. I also found the "blog this" link difficult to find. I spent ages trying to locate this link and only found it through sheer luck and playing around. It was easy to use though once I found it.
