well, i realize that i haven't been prioritizing the learning 2.0 blog AT ALL, so i'm going to cheat a little and skip topics 4 & 5 for now and jump ahead (that sounds odd, since i'm still behind!) to flickr at #6, which is something that i had already explored in the past.
if you look at my photostream (http://www.flickr.com/photos/8787305@N02/), you'll see from the dates of my last uploads that i haven't been prioritizing flickr, either! it was fun for a while, and it is convenient for sharing pictures with a large number of friends and family at once, but i found i wasn't really interested in other people's pictures, or sharing with people i didn't know or even spending that much time messing around with my own pics. (i'd rather be playing world of warcraft) i did try the "project 365" group (where you take one picture per day for a year), but soon came to realize that i'd be scrambling to take a picture at the last minute or would take a picture just for the sake of taking one for the project. so i ended up feeling obligated rather than inspired and dropped it. i mean, as a photo essay of a year in my life, i didn't think it would be really meaningful to look at a picture of my feet a year later knowing that i'd taken that shot 5 minutes before bed since nothing else had interested me enough to bother that day -- no matter how artfully the light was hitting them.
btw, the picture above was taken of a window display at design solutions on elm street. also, i had a problem uploading the picture with the "add image" function on blogger using the url ("add an image from the web"), so i saved it to my desktop and used "add image" with the file from my desktop instead. apparently if you want to "blog this picture" from flickr, it should be the first thing you do, because when you use that, it adds the image to a new blog, rather than adding it to a blog you've already written. unless there's something i'm missing, which is possible.
