Adding Flickr Images to Posts
Matthew Gold on Jun 22nd 2009
Tyler had a question about adding a flickr image to a post — when he tried to post a link to a photo on flickr, the image uploader responded with a big red X. Here’s what was happening and how to fix it:
“Share This” links on Flickr:
When you get that “Share This” link from flickr, what you get is a link to a page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/39579711@N02/3641816508/), not to a photo. Remember that photos usually have a .jpg extension at the end of the file name.
There are three ways around this that I know of. Maybe Jim has others.
METHOD 1: GRAB THE LINK OF THE IMAGE
On the flickr photo page, right click on the image. If you’re using Firefox, click “View Image” in the submenu that comes up. Copy that URL. Notice that the URL leads to a file that ends in jpg
— If you use Internet Explorer, right click on the image, click “properties,” copy the URL you see there
METHOD 2: SAVE PHOTO TO YOUR COMPUTER, THEN UPLOAD TO BLOG
Step 1: Download image: On the flickr photo page, click “All sizes” about the photo. Click on the link to the size you want. Click “Download the (S/MED/LG) Size. Save file to a folder on your computer.
Step 2: Upload image to blog. On blog post, click “Add image” above post editing box. On Add media files from your computer, browse to folder with saved image. Upload image.
METHOD 3: COPY EMBED CODE FROM FLICKR, PASTE INTO POST EDITING BOX
Step 1: Click “Share This” on flickr photo page
Step 2: Click “Grab the HTML” on pop-up menu. Click inside box, when code highlighted/selected, click Control-C to copy
Step 3: Go to post editing page. Above the post editing box, click “HTML” so that it, not “Visual, is selected
Step 4: Paste (Control-V) code into post box.
Step 5: Publish post

Summer Priorities
Matthew Gold on Jun 18th 2009
Areas of Concern
getting courses talking to each other – creating interaction between class
- requiring commenting across blogs
- shared projects
— Need training Manual so that on first class students can be walked through blogging
— Knowing structure/procedure for interschool connections — protocol for that
— Groups/BuddyPress stuff/Twitter
— add events calendar
— schedule a weekly conference call
— during conference call — discuss highlights of week, make a quick list, send out to everyone involved in project
— blog post after class — take five minutes at the end of class and brainstorm — most important thing we did today
— worried that things are too distributed — how many things do I have to keep up with and how diluted to conversations become if they’re happening in six different spaces instead of one space or two spaces
— create introductory video/screencast that can be shown in all classes on the first day
– need
