Grrr… I’m trying to figure out how to place my Flickr pics onto my blog in the right size. Anyone have a suggestion for me? Help!

Keith, thanks for the help!
I’m new at this Flickr thing and, as my husband well knows, I tend to be slow to change. I was reluctant to start blogging and I’m still dragging my feet with Flickr. I like the idea of Flickr but it kind of freaks me out a bit, too. I feel much more in control of my photographs here on the Prairie Box (what is there to control? you might wonder, rightly so). I’m not too fond of the idea of random and unknown bloggers posting my pictures, but then again, I’ve never been much of a group project person when it comes to creative assignments. Also, I admit I’m totally intimidated when it comes to the a-ma-zing photography on Flickr. Instead of propelling me to go and do likewise, I feel like giving up this hobby because so many people are so much better at it than I am. Silly, but true. Anyhow, Renae’s been after me for a long time to get aboard the Flickr train. So here I am… With a Pro Account on my birthday/Christmas wishlist.

go to “all sizes” on the Flickr page and select the size you want (such as 500 x 350). Copy the URL for that size from the box at the bottom and use that in your blog.

You can also set a restriction on who can use your pictures. I have mine set to only people who are listed as family (my sisters). Whoo! I’m gonna add you as a contact.
Oh, and if you are interested, Tracey at Picture This! (http://picturethis.clubmom.com/picture_this/2006/08/category_overvi.html) is hosting an end of summer photo contest, the entries are posted in flickr groups. I have learned a lot from her photography blog.

That’s an amazing sculpture.
I’ve avoided Flikr, too. *Sigh*
