Exercise #4: MY Flickr Experience Take 2

Well here I am again, thinking I had done this but not as "instructed" - I'm not one of those people who read's the instruction book before assembling/plugging in something new, obviously that was my downfall. So the lesson has been learned!!!

My Flickr experience: I was pleased (even proud) that I managed to open an account AND download not one, but two photos, then managed to get one to my blog page and write a bit about it. My frustration was that I couldn't manage to change the title of it from it's "photo number" (and still can't) - any ideas? and therefore couldn't tag it as instructed.

Whilst some things seem straight forward and relatively methodical, others are excruciatingly frustrating and time consuming, which then "sours" alot of the current experience of achieving what you have - how can it be so hard to send off your blog to an email a/c!!!

Anyway I'm sure the answers to these and many more will be forthcoming if one is to "stick with it" - one is wavering somewhat at the moment!!!

Well done Raven! There's lots of learning for all of us on this programme and you are certainly not alone.

To change your picture title in flickr, log into your flickr account and click on the photo you want to change so that it opens on a page by itself (photo view). To the right of the picture you will see a list of options that starts with 'Additional information'.
The last on the list is 'Edit title, description, and tags.'
Click on the word 'edit' (it's a link)and that takes you to a page where you can change the name etc.and save the changes.
Hope that helps :)
