Belated Europe pix

November 17th, 2006

I put together a set of photos on Flickr of some of my adventures in Paris and Brussels last month. For various reasons, as you may recall, I didn’t have my digital camera on this trip. But a couple people kindly sent me shots they’d taken, and I just added some more that I took with a disposable camera. I wish the Flickr slideshow mode would display the photo captions, but I can’t seem to find a way to make that happen.

Oh! Duh. I figured it out. Just click on a photo in the slide show, and you’ll get a slightly smaller version plus the caption. Then you can forward the pix manually, and continue reading their captions.

November 10th, 2006

Katie here.  I hope you enjoyed the ’80’s pictures.  I’ve got some Chucks lined up in place of the shoes pictured below.

Here’s a comment written by ‘NLC’ from the last post that I would like to highlight: If you live in VT, tune in to Alison on Vermont Public Television!

Also, a quick note to everyone who’s part of the conversation on this blog: sometimes our spamfilters pick up legitimate comments along with the goodness-knows-what of spam.  This can cause a delay from when you post and when I find your comment caught in our spamfilter.  Comments posted anonymously might not come through,  and you might be filtered inadvertently if you post a link with no text or with text that advises “check out this link”.  It doesn’t seem to like some names, either- I couldn’t claim to understand all of the algorithms that go into writing a spamfilter, but these are a few quick tips to avoid being mistaken for spam.
