    Flickr: Help: Blogging

    Flickr: Help: Blogging How do I post photos to my blog?   First you’ll have to configure an external blog, (do that here). You’ll be guided through the set-up process, and at the end you can try a test post to make sure everything works. When that’s done, you can blog any public photo you see on Flickr. When you’re looking at a single photo, for example, http://www.flickr.com/photo.gne?id=23754, you’ll see a “Blog This” button above it. Note: If you don’t see the “Blog This” button, you probably need to make the photo public (click “edit” next to the privacy indicator under…

  • The Never-Ending Bloga

    Blogkeeping chores

    I’ve disabled/removed the code for SnapShots previews; it seemed like an ‘Oooh!’ when I saw it on another blog, but has become an ‘Ehhhh’ because any mousing around caused the previews to pop up unexpectedly. While Googling around looking for how to configure it, I ran across several mentions of it as an annoying feature, so maybe it’s just as well I’ve deleted it. If I can figure out how to set it to be less annoying, or to pop up on just a few types of links, the code goes in the “Footer” template of the current theme, just…

    Cowboy breakfast

    Via: Flickr Title: Cowboy breakfast By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 16 Jun ’07, 11.43am CDT PST We just had breakfast at the Creekside Cafe in Steamboat Springs; it was delicious and also the outdoor seating was really pleasant if a little crowded. What caught my eye was the party of locals in black hats by the entry, as they all had big rodeo buckles and wore their hats througout the meal in approved cowboy fashion when breakfasting alfresco. I wonder what the long-time local residents think of all the new development that turned Steamboat from a sleepy li’l one-eyed rancher’s town…

  • Traveling Along, We're Adventurers

    8th Avenue Bailout

    As the incessent moblogging makes clear, we’re not in Illinois at the moment. In fact, we’re on a 4-day weekend trip to visit some of our favorite places and meet up with my sisters for one last little item on our “To Do” list concerning Mom and her final wishes. But more on that later. Today’s topic is urgent: a restaurant review that includes a dramatic bailout maneuver. My husband David and I took the scenic route to Steamboat today – we were in Boulder for a couple of nights doing the sentimental journey thang, and then in a fateful…

    Stupid dad

    Via: Flickr Title: Stupid dad By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 15 Jun ’07, 4.10pm CDT PST Sign says do not climb on rocks This guy put himself and his two small  sons in danger of death or serious injury twice in ten minutes; we drove up Boulder Canyon and decided to stop at Boulder Falls. When we got down the little access trail to the bottom of the falls, this guy was down at water’s edge, off trail, goofing around with his kids on the rocks. There’s a lot of water in the creek, and if one of them had fallen…

    Hybrid Escape at Rocky Mountain NP

    Via: Flickr Title: 06-15-07_1400.jpg By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 15 Jun ’07, 4.07pm CDT PST This vehicle had an eco-green “wrap” touting how it was a donation to the National Park Service and whatnot via Ford Motors. And it’s a hybrid, which probably works fairly well in the lower speeds mandated inside Rocky Mountain National Park.
