Flickr apps

I really like all the things Flickr allows. My brother in law actually works for one of the companies that Flickr uses for comercial products, and he used their tool to create a montage of his wedding, his own wedding album, and a few other neat tricks (they didn't hire a professional photographer). I think my favorite of the tools listed is the speller, because I figured oot quickly how to have a good deal of control over what displayed. In the others, I think it will take awhile before I'm proficient at getting images just the way I want them.
I created a montage of beagle pictures, and it's hard to tell in the tiny frames, but I think my own beagle pictures may have made the cut! I didn't include the link b/c it took an enternity to load and never fully finished. It's pretty cute, though. Previously, I have only used Flickr for the traditional picture posting site and shared photos with my friends and family that way. Lately, I've linked it to my Facebook account and it displays as a random sample of 30 pictures from my account. The thing I find most frustrating is that my mother-& sister-in-law both signed up for completely different photo sharing accounts! Makes it much more inconvenient to keep up on photos... :)
