Better Picture Posting

In the ongoing war for user share, I saw that Yahoo! bought a company called Flickr the other day. Flickr's claim to fame is photo sharing, and some of the interesting things they do to provide ways to "tag" photos. Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try for posting picture to use on the Harris blog. It works great, and a hell of a lot better than that annoying Hello thing. Here's what you do.

1. Get yourself a Flickr account for free. You can post up to 20MB of photos a month, which is going to be more than anyone in our little group needs.
2. Choose "Upload Photos". Pick your photo from wherever it is, even off your camera I suppose.
3. Once the photo is uploaded, click on it. Look for the "Blog this" button. You will be prompted to set up your web log, and "Blogger blog" is the first choice. The Harris Online blog is a "Blogger blog" because it is set up on the www.blogger.com web site.
   

That's about it. Now you should be able to upload pictures to Flickr and post them to the blog. You have a choice of "templates" to use. You should use "Medium" size pictures.
