I think I'm working my way around Flickr now. Managed to upload the photo and send it to my blog. There will be no stopping me now.

My Flickr experience
It took me awhile to work out how to get the download to work. I would find an image try to download it to my blog. Something would not work. I'd go back and take ages to find the image again. Each search seemed to bring up different images. I guess I will have to work on this.
Anyway I loved my Flickr experience even though I think I might have a few more Grey hairs now than when I started. I think I went over my time limit. Hopefully the boss won't mind. I am learning though.
Can see many uses for Flickr both through work and privately. Through work we could share images of events and displays. We also have a lot of travellers coming through our library they might want to use Flickr to share photos of their travels with family and friends at home. I am looking forward to sharing my photos with family.

My first blog
I did not think really think much of blogs before starting this program. I thought it was just something children did. Now after learning more about them I can see they might be useful.
In a Library setting I can see many uses. We could setup a Book Club blog. We have four book clubs going with about eight people in each, each group reading a different book. They could blog about what they have read if they can't get to a meeting. We could let them know about author nights. We have youth and children's programs these could have their own blogs. Why not a staff blog to discuss work issuse. It is endless once you start thinking about it.
I am looking forward to the program. If blogs have got me thinking this much I can't wait to find out what else is in the program. Our workplace has encouraged all staff to do this course. It is great that they support us in learing new skills. I am sure the skills we learn will be of benefit both to the workplace and outside of work.
Looking forward to the next step
