Thing 6 Flickr Mashups

I'm going to try to spell out our boat name(from Thing 5) using letters on butterfly wings. Why? Because I like them even if they're not necessarily water related. I'll comment more after I see how it goes. Ok, that didn't work. I'll try a more straightforward method using Flickr images.

Thing 5 Flickr

I think I was able to upload a picture from a website but I did not find it straightforward at all. I guess I just don't read and follow directions very good. I kept trying to upload the picture before I clicked on the agreement button(it should be placed before the upload step for us dummies).

The photo is of the sailboat my husband and I owned for 10 years and lived on full-time for 5 of those years. She is now for sale again and has been repainted so doesn't look like our white-hulled "Voyageur". We recognized her as our former boat because we had a custom fireplace and dining table installed at the time as shown in the other pictures which I was not successful in uploading-----yet.

Thing 4

Ok, I finally added some news sites and blog sites to my Google Reader RSS account. I haven't used it enough yet to see if it will be very useful. I'm not the type that spends a lot of time reading blogs except to skim the info quickly. That's how I chose my news feeds as those that have enough headline info for me to decide if I want more content or not. I used Google Reader and found it easy to use. I did not try anything else.
