The photo above is my Breedlove Revival OM-M #9839 (December 11, 2006) from BCR Music in Lemoyne, PA, which is across the Susquehana River from Harrisburg.
I downloaded the Flickr Uploadr software and uploaded the above picture to the Flickr website.

Observations about Blogger and Flickr
When you paste an image into a Word document, it will not be of the same quality as it appeared on the web page. A program called SnagIt 8 should allow me to capture a digital image cleanly and rename it as a jpeg, jif, etc., save it to My Pictures folder, and upload it to Blogger.
Digital images must be clearly captured and of large size if you intend to manipulate them for publication, especially in a Word document or your blog.
Blogger may not be the most sophisticated blogging software available, but it's fine for beginners. I was amazed how easy it was to create an attractive-looking blog with. While you can wrap photos around text, the results are less than spectacular compared to using Word. J.K. Rowling's picture had to be manipulated several different ways until it harmonized with the adjacent text. Trebuchet is a readable font and seems to accomodate photos better than the other Blogger fonts: Times, Courier, and Georgia. Unlike Word, you are very limited in how you can size your text - "Bigger" or "Smaller."
Flickr is a great tool if you are an avid photographer and you want to share your photo gallery with friends or the public. If you are a member of a forum that collects antiques and own a digital camera, it's easy to share your pictures of collectibles with other interested forum members.
