Pretending to be creative with picknic
This was a really enjoyable task. It was so easy to logon and start editing. I enjoyed experimenting with various effects and adding comments and tags. I am really rather pleased with my results. It was very easy to reload the edited photograph to flickr. Looking at my "cat" set on flickr in retrospect I am going try out the "red-eye" function of picknic.
My only reservation with picknic is it is a blunt instrument for photo editing. It's more for creating special effects. I think there are probably more specialised tools for the experienced enthusiasts. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to explore the other tools. A task for the future...

Registering with Flickr and uploading to Flickr should have been easy. However, there seemd to be some issues with the display and changing my password. I used yahoo to register for "delicious" in the past. This just left me irritated and annoyed, particularly as I was looking foward to a really fun exercise. I had spent all day Friday trying to find a moment to take some photographes of the Library. I finally manged it about four-thirty! Yes, I know it looks later in the photographes. I don't want to deceive my fellow bloggers that I was in the Library as some unearthly hour! It proved a good opportunity to promote my Web 2.0 projects and new found knowledge to my college colleagues who wondered what I was up to. Some were being just plain nosy; others were genuinely interested.
I was a disappointed to discover that I had to add photos one by one rather than a file at a time. Discovering that some of photographs were sideways I found the editing tool to rotate them although this too seemed to be unpredicable. I also found the delete function when I discovered I had two photographes of the John Piper tapestry. I had downloaded the photographes in sets and added comments, tags and descriptions as I went along. It was fun trying to think of some entertaining captions and descriptions. I had to experiment with the different views to work out how to edit photographes individuality. I love the slideshow functionality.
The map option was easy, quick and fun. Like one of the other "23 Things" bloggers I discovered that the place tag seemed a bit off the map - Dorchester was tagged as Burcot, Oxfordshire. However, Linton Road was described correctly as Summertown, Oxford. I had difficulty exciting from the map and returning to Flickr. Any ideas?
I needed to investigate the the various copyright options more fully. I just used the option suggested. I often use the Creative Commons site for images so this was new but I do need to read up on this.
I tried to add my L-Space stream to my blog. It worked - hurrah. Then I discovered additional photographes of an attractively posed lady in a swimsuit. A quick websearch revealed L-Space swimsuits. I decided to change the name of my L-Space stream to L-Spaces and try again. It didn't work. This really bothering me so if anyone can help just send me a comment
Album - sorry photostream needs some tiding up but task eight was still to be done...
PS I can't seem to add a tag for "flickr" having one already called "yet to flickr more brightly"
