I’ve even upgraded to a pro account.
Flickr is somewhat hard to figure out so I posted a “how to” on one of my wiki’s that is dedicated to teaching people how to do wiki stuff. (www.wikihow.pbwiki.com)
Now that I know how easy it is I have started using flickr for my wiki pages and just linking. Even whole photo slideshows can be linked. They have to be public if you want to share them, or the people you share them with have to be on your contact list, or know the password.

Well, actually I’ve been blogging for 6 years now. In fact, I spent yesterday with three people who belong to one of my blogging communities. Blogging gives people a means to get outside of their physical community and meet people with similar dreams and goals. Still one has to be cautious because you never know WHO might read your blog and how they might USE it.
When I was in third grade I observed the class bully shove another girl and break her necklace. I felt bad for her and wanted to make her feel better so I gathered up the beads and sent gave them to her with a note. Well, that note got passed around the room and I felt humiliated. My personal message was being read by everyone.
Experiences like that one change who you are.

Eventually, I’m sure, I will need this, or use it, but now I have many other web 2.0 tools to optimize.
