I must be a damn idiot!

I’ve got some photos I wanted to post on the ol’ blog here. I don’t really wanna put them on my website, because I may be moving hosts soon and don’t wanna deal with all that. Anyway, I thought, “I’ll use this new Flickr thing I hear everyone raving about.” Those who know me know that I’m not much for the hype generated by new things. All these years after it launched, and I still don’t much care for google. I only use it because there’s not much else out there. Digg, Reddit, Ruby on Rails; I’ve looked at them all. None of them “do it” for me. I just don’t see the mystique. I shoulda taken that stance with Flickr, but I didn’t.

I’ve spent two (2) days trying to get those photos onto my blog, and I just can’t figure it out. The whole first day was wasted until told me you had to register your blog. Shit, I looked around that site all day and never saw a link to registering a blog. Nothing. Now I’ve spent another day trying, unsuccessfully, to put images on the blog. So far, I’ve managed to put A single image there, but I want several of them; to tell a story so-to-speak. If I can’t do that, it’s useless to me. I very seldom put up pics, and I usually don’t want to base an entire post around 1 pic.
