Sink or Swim???

Learning to create a blog, a wiki, a social networking page, etc. can be a challenge for someone who has made it through 50+ years without. But continued success in communication and teaching depend on my using media to add interest to lessons and projects not possible before. This blog will document my explorations with various media tools.

Today I'm using flickr. Flickr (available at http://www.flickr.com/) is a website that allows you to upload photos and videos. The steps are minimal. One click and flickr opened my collection of pictures on my computer, allowed me to select one, give it a title, tag it and write a description if I so desired, and set it to public or private. To upload it to my blog, the setting needed to be public. This is a picture of my daughter's cat Kali. We have three cats and this one thinks she's the boss, although she is terrified of the ceiling fan.
