Here it is....however, it is not coming over from uploading in blogger with the pop up note?
I just looked at St.Bens/St.Johns...it appears that their photos with popup notes aren't in their library blog or library website either....just on their Flickr account????
It would be really cool to be able to import such thing into a library blog and/or library web site? IS it possible???

more Thing 4: What a GREAT IDEA.. or maybe not...see the post that is above this one
After looking at what St. Johns and St. Bens libraries are doing with photos with links to their catalogs, I am full of ideas on using this to connect with our library users!
(Edited..see post above this one...there may be no way to get the photo with the pop up link into one's blog and/or website...maybe it only pops up in Flickr?? If so, not what I want to do)
So, had to figure out how to add a note that will pop up upon mousing over the photo. This is easy...just click on the Add A Note icon above your photo.
Then, how to make it link...well that is html. Couldn't remember the syntax:
Just to get the line to show the actual code above was a challenge! Since Blogger is an html editor itself, if you put in the code, it just changes to a highlighted link. I had to copy the code from another source and put it into a picture editor (used Fireworks)and save it as a .png image and then edit it to a better size in some MS picture editor and then upload it as no format and move the code in the blog entry to where I wanted it!
Now I want to show you the photo!

Flickr ..part of thing 4
Here is a photo of the librarians desks at the Fire/EMS/Safety Library. I created a NEW yahoo account and a thus a NEW Flickr account for work because Flickr has a limit to how many photos can be available total for loading (as I recall it is 200 total?) before you have to pay them to keep the photos available.
I just set up a Flickr account for the personal blog about 10 days ago and don't want to use up the photo limit for this work blog.
So, WOE is me....another email account and password.....NO!
I admit, I haven't read all the Flickr info in Thing 4 yet, but knew I had these photos available at work and wanted to get them up for folks to see our library!
I created this blog entry in Flickr, not in Blogger.
I am now editing this post in Blogger. You do your edits in Blogger, not flickr!!!
