Yesterday, I created a flickr account and uploaded some pictures from my computer at home. These pictures were all from our journey from Virginia to Washington in November 2006. I modified the photo titles and created a set with the pictures in the correct order from oldest to newest (from the starting point of the journey to the end) -- this point will be important later.
Today, pushed the photo above from flickr to my blog on blogger. This went pretty well -- I just followed the instructions (with a few missteps, of course). I then tried to use the 'add image' tool within blogger to add a flickr image in this post. No luck -- nothing showed up in the post, even though some HTML was added pointing toward the flickr image. Add a comment if you were able to add an image in a post using the blogger add image tool.
I was also interested in the flickr slideshow. A friend of mine blogger her way around the world, and I really enjoyed her slideshows of each port visit. If you go to my set of journey pictures, there is a button on the upper right that says 'View as slideshow'. Clicking that button does give you a slideshow presentation of the set. I was finally able to get the slideshow to start at the beginning and end at the end (originally, it was starting with the final picture and ending with the first picture). However, I was a bit disappointed that the captions are displayed in the slideshow presentation.
If you go the the set and click on 'map' (in the upper left) you will see the map I created of the journey photos.
I did one more thing with flickr, but I create a separate post for that, as I'm a bit apprehensive of how quickly it might load.

I can't believe this! When I drove from Virginia to Washington (in 1999), my mom rode shotgun and took pictures of all of the "Welcome to [state]" signs, too!
Great photos - we took the northern route, and now I get to see some of what we missed.
