Attempt to use Flickr

Ok so we have been given a nice list of online gizwizardry to try out and talk about. So I wanted to start taking advantage of finally having regular Internet access in my college residence. Unfortunately the lack of net access has lead to a bit of a backlog of photographs and such to upload and things to talk about.

So anyway back to Flickr, I attempted to upload some pictures the first one had a little ! in a triangle appear next to the file name. But it didn't say what it meant or what was going on, so I let it continue, an hour later there was a little !angle next to all of the file names. Again no rhyme or reason, except of course for a little line at the bottom saying they had all failed. What a waste of time that was, there was no solution or reason offered, just that it hadn't worked with any of the files.

So I tried again, BAM, denied. So then I decided to try uploading fewer at a time, once again it failed. The basic uploader is still available so I thought that I would give that a go, and guess what? It actually worked! However you can only upload six at a time in 6 different boxes, so no ctrl or shift to help. It is possible that the college filter was what was causing the issue, with Flickr giving me 0 feedback there is no way to know. So with the 111 pictures I have to upload 6 at a time, I say to Flicker farewell for now. At least until I can figure out how to get the uploader working.

Ok so that's my foray into Flickr. Bye for now!
