010, a photo by lexibri on Flickr.
From left to right: my brother Austin, sister, Amanda, and me. You may not be able to guess it by looking at this picture but my sister is older than I am and my brother is younger. This picture was taken this past summer while I was home and I put it here on my blog just because they are both so important im my life. Being a middle child is never easy, but I got lucky enough to have a sister who has always set a good example for me and a brother who makes life joyous and full of laughter. He is the most optimistic and good-natured person I have ever met; there is no way to bring this kid down. My sister, being not much older than me, was my best friend growing up. We played Barbies, house, dress-up, and pretty much everything else together. I cannot image my life without either of them!!
I am not sure I will use Flickr much in the future, even though I did create an account. I find it even easier to upload and share pictures on Facebook. Plus there is games, and other things you can do on Facebook (so many apps). I may use Flickr to share pictures of my class and activities we do on a blog since I know how to connected the two now. That is how I posted this picture, by using Flickr's blogging tool. I found that to be a really easy way to get pictures from there on to my blog. Other than that feature I was not too impressed by Flickr, in all honesty. I have been using programs like Picasa 3 and Picnik to store and edit pictures before I upload them to Facebook. I have a lot of fun experiementing with the different colors and tools like red-eye, blemish removal, and text that you can add. There are several other things you can do too and I love that aspect of these programs. I do not mind having my pictures in a public place because I have them all over Facebook, but I am also very careful about what pictures I put on there. While Flickr still allows for categorizing photos, it only lets you upload a certain amount of pictures at a time. On Facebook you can upload as many as you want at once and Picasa automatically adds any pictures recently imported on my computer when I open it.
Hi Alexis! I have not done Thing #7 yet, but your post has given me some great insight about it! I think, like you, I will like Facebook better. But I will give Flickr a shot and see how it works out!
ReplyDeleteI am glad my post could be of some help. I guess that just goes to show blogging really is beneficial and a good way to learn and communicate with people.
