Thing #7 First Attempt...to be continued
So the first keyword I used was pets, then I used dogs, then Italian Greyhounds. Why? Well, I had an Italian Greyhound. Cosmo's Moon was his name. It's a reference to a line from the movie Moonstruck. He was killed by a speeding driver in my neighborhood just this past September. I didn't know he was following me. I thought he was in the house until I heard the impact. The driver didn't stop. They just kept right on going. I will never understand that. Anyway, I miss him every day and he was on my mind today because of all of the snow. He didn't like the cold. Didn't like to walk on the snow. I would shovel a path for him to walk across and then shovel some snow down to bare grass in order to get him to go outside. So that was on my mind when I started searching tags on Flickr. For those of you who have never met an Italian Greyhound, here's a picture. Or not. It seems that no one on Flickr wants to let anyone download their photos of their dogs. Every single photo I clicked on was marked 'downloading disabled'. Ummm so how is this actually useful? I can let everyone see pictures of my dog or my daughter or whatever on my Facebook page. I need Flickr why? So much for using Flickr with an image that is out there. I guess I will have to actually create a Flickr account (which I really did not want to do because I'm having trouble keeping track of all of the accounts I am creating for this class) and upload a photo of my own. That will have to wait for another day because I have wasted so much time trying to upload an existing Flickr photo that it is now time for me to get my daughter from daycare. So experience on Flickr so far: finding images - easy, actually doing something with those images - impossible!

I am sorry to hear about the lose of you friend. It makes you wonder if the person was talking on the phone or texting. I was just looking at flickr and do not know how to get the ap for our blog. When I try to get started flickr whats to use my home email address and I do not want to do that. I will try again tomorrow. Better luck on your next attempt.
ReplyDeleteLike Phillip, i am also sorry about your dog! That's awful! I love my cat so much, i can't imagine losing her. :(
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your dog. Italian Greyhounds are beautiful dogs though; very agile.
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with you on creating so many accounts for this class. I actually have a page in the front of my binder for this class with every site we have had to join and the login information for that particular site. It has helped a ton!
and good luck using Flickr, I'm not having much luck either!!
I am also sorry about your loss of one of your friends. It is not easy losing pets because you get close to them. I lost a dog in middle school and I still miss him because he was the first dog I got along with. I recommend using a notebook to keep up with all the accounts and that is how I am managing to keep up with all my new account because I have problems remembering, so many different passwords and other important information. I created an account and used one of Flickrs pictures, but on some of the pictures they will not let you use at all, but others you can use.
