Thing 7- Online Image Generators

As you can see from my sidebar, I have been having fun with this Thing, and I'm not done yet. Little did I realize before all that is readily and freely available out in cyberspace! Wow! It's just Fantastic! These tools are so simple to use, but they could also be time wasters if I'm not careful--trying out all kinds of things. Well, now I can use the excuse that it is an assignment and I really must do my classwork! So far, I have tried Big Huge Labs-See the puzzle picture from Thing 6; ImageChef-See my valentine sweet on the sidebar.; and ToonDoo which is in this post. (I am disappointed that the cartoon doesn't just appear here instead of going to the link.)

My creation

Ooohhh...Look...Look...Look See what I did? Cool! As to how I will use this in my library, I'm not sure. This is a picture of part of my circulation desk with our display from Constitution Day. Using pictures of our library in a library blog open for students to view would create interest. Let me go back to see what else I can do with Flickr...

Now that I know how to place a photo from Flickr to my blog, I am on to the next step--adding other fun things in Flickr. (I wanted to add the clock, but wasn't sure about that.) I am adding a picture from Flickr chosen from the color tag. Pretty against the black background, don't you think?

Thing 5- Flickr Fun (sort of)

I set up a Flickr account which was easy since I already have a Yahoo account. I added some pictures. I really don't snap a lot of pictures so I don't have many. My Flickr account is http://www.flickr.com/photos/dramaticlibrarian .

I am having trouble adding a picture I saved in Flickr to this blog. It says it is here, but it is obviously not. I am a bit frustrated now. What am I doing wrong? I clicked on the picture icon and put in the picture's URL. ...Ok, I figured out I had to allow access from Flickr to Blogger...Let's see if this works...no picture...I went back and read NEFLIN's instructions--very carefully...It worked, but the picture is in the wrong place, so I am deleting it. Wait, I think I have it now. Wha LA! (whew)
