I've decided to start publishing most of my pictures on Flickr - actually, I decided that a long time ago, but I take a while to follow through on things. I had previously been posting them all on Facebook, but most of them have broader appeal, so I want to put those on Flickr and keep the "college antics" ones on Facebook. I do eventually want to relocate previous ones, but one step at a time - and so, that first step is a set of pictures from a hiking trip that I went on in mid-June with a bunch of friends from the New Orleans trip.

Enjoy!

PS: Kudos to Microsoft's free Live Suite; Live Photo Gallery lets you publish your pictures straight from the program. That was a big help in actually starting to do this, since I have most of my pictures tagged and captioned here, albeit in Photoshop Elements, and duplicating this effort each time I wanted to upload pictures was a major deterrent to doing so.
Another thumbs-up for Live Writer, which lets you blog entries with ease, including adding pictures, categories, etc. Thumbs half-down for Word 2007, which only offers basic integration with Blogger.com - in particular, no images and no categories. So I have to choose between Word's superior offline feature set (proofing, etc) or Live Writer's online feature set.
Maybe someday Microsoft will stop reinventing the wheel (for example - the Zune doesn't use Windows Media Player, but rather reinvents it with different features, and that means you would need to keep two libraries. Fun! I have to admit though, I am far more impressed with Zune v2, and am also surprised that they are upgrading the features of v1 as well. Maybe I'll write about that another day.)
