So you may have noticed the two random photos on the sidebar of the site. I’ve taken some pictures lately, such as several hundred in Italy in February.

Of course, if you click on the Photos link, in the site navigation, you can look at all of them. If you’re looking to burn a few hours, I highly recommend it.

The pictures, while displayed here, are actually hosted on a site called Flickr. I use the site because I can put a lot of pictures up, I can easily use a plug-in to show them here, Flickr allows me to organize them, tag them, label them, etc.

Now, my main purpose here is not to say, “oooh, it’s such a great thing.” My designs are more selfish — the site allows you to sign up for free, and I was thinking, gosh, it would be great for other people to put their pictures on Flickr, then we could all be friends and share our pictures!

It’s quite simple. If you’d like to view my photos, just go to flickr.com/photos/schellack. If you want to view others’, particularly others’ interesting pics, try going to flickr.com/explore. Lastly, if you want to see how Flickr works, what it does, how to sign up, etc., just go to flickr.com/tour.

Should you want to sign up and find some more photos of mine that aren’t displayed elsewhere, I just might add you to my friends list, which would allow you to see those photos that I don’t particularly like to show to the whole world, namely those of my friends and family.

Happy Mother’s Day as well, in advance. I’m planning to post some more this weekend on what Mother’s Day has in store for this year, but in the mean time, check out the “Celebrating Motherhood” post on Flickr’s Blog. It’s got a link to a pool of pictures on moms.
