Whew! I finally got my 5 photos uploaded into my Flickr account. It only took umpteen mistakes & re-dos! The next hurdle was getting 3 of those same images into this blog. I think that took only about 4 re-dos. Improvement! My first mistake in Flickr was pretty dumb. I unhooked my digital camera from the computer BEFORE the uploads to Flickr were complete. OK, so I learned something there. Then I discovered that I'd uploaded ALL the photos on my digital camera, not just the 5 photos that I'd intended to upload and share. So another thing I learned was how to delete photos that have been uploaded. Then one of the photos I'd taken in a vertical position, rather than horizontal. Well, when that photo uploaded, of course it was sideways. So I learned how to use the built-in editing program in Flickr called Picnik. Thankfully, adding the titles & tags to the photos, & marking them as Public seemed easy enough. A few more mistakes figured out, then I was on to Blogger & trying to get 3 photos added to the blog. I used Blogger's photo upload feature to do this. After several attempts, I learned that the "Small" photo size was best.
I haven't been brave enough to make Sets or Collections or to belong to any Groups in Flickr yet. But I think I'll call it a day & try that another time.

Wow! I am really impressed by everything you worked through and figured out! I'd say you had a very successful "play session," but I can see why you would want to call it a day :)
Please don't be afraid to join a group or two and contribute. That's where I have the most fun in flickr. Some of my favorite groups are Hot Plates (to which I've contributed over 2000 photos), Library Signage (which I created), and Librarian Trading Cards.
