Though I still need to do #4 and register this blog on the tracking log, I thought I'd play around with another item on the 23 things list before I headed to bed for the night.

#5 was Flickr.

I'm no stranger to Flickr, so seeing it in the listing for the 23 things delighted me. I've really only ever used it to upload photos, and truthfully, never had much of anyone directed toward viewing them. I believe this was due to ineffective tagging. I found myself excited to go on and delve a little deeper into the world of Flickr. It's tied to yahoo now, so I needed to create a yahoo account to be able to in turn have a Flickr membership, so once that was said and done, I filled in my profile, chose my avatar, and found a few photos from the Cascade Branch that I had taken back in June. I created a set and uploaded them to it, and tagged them with everything I could think of that was relevant, including my username, and the purpose for their upload.

I've always liked Flickr's ease of use, and look forward to becoming re-aquainted to the site, and it's features.
