More Flickr fun....

Explored a few of the fun Flickr mashups and 3rd party tools out there and chose FD Toys Trading Card Maker to do my blog on. The FD Toys Trading Card Maker is very easy to use all you had to do was choose a file from your computer to upload. The fun part was deciding on a colour for the card and an imaginative title, sub-title and description. Choosing 7 icons to put on your card was fun, the hard part was deciding which ones to chose.

To see my Librarian Trading Card look to the right.

Having some Flickr fun.....

Flickr Color Pickr is very easy to use all you have to do is to choose a specific colour and Flickr finds the public photos that match that colour. I chose the Flowers Color Pickr and clicked on the colour dark pink and hey pesto a number of fabulous pink flower photos came up including a great photo of a pink rose. Click on the link below to see what I mean:

Exploring Flickr

I created a free account in Flickr by using the generic logon in Yahoo that was provided so I didn't have to set up another email account. Uploaded a photo that I took of the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to my Flickr account by just following the simple instructions and then added tags like Malaysia,Kuala Lumpur, tower, night, Petronas and twin towers. I used the Flickr blogging tool to add the image to my post, by again following simple instructions on how to do this. For a better look at the Petronas Twin Towers click on the above photo.


Now to tell you a bit about the fantastic Petronas Twin Towers. The Petronas Twin Towers are the tallest twin towers in the world measuring 451.9 metres in height and containing 88 floors inside the structure. The Petronas Twin Towers are part of Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), here one can find one of the biggest shopping malls in Malaysia - Suria KLCC (if you love shopping head straight there and shop till you drop). Housed within KLCC are offices, banks, multiplex cinemas, food courts, art gallery, auditorium, a science museum and restaurants. Talk about the convenience of travel there was even a metro train station at the basement of the building. So if you're heading to Malaysia this landmark is really worth seeing.
