Testing new plugin

 

Switzerland

I used to have this intergrated Flickr plugin install some time ago but due to various reasons, after the upgrade, it didn’t seem to work. So now, I’m giving it another shot and YES, it seems to work. :) So if you want to make posting easier straight from Flickr into your WP blog, then maybe one should give this a shot.

Pretty postcards…

More postcards but these 3 are not too clear as I can no longer scan my postcards ~ I’m jobless remember? :tongue:

Private : Lithuania
This postcard is from Westwind of Lithuania. It shows the Curonian Spit - a brilliant creation of nature that is located near Nida, where the forested dunes run into wastes of moving sand. A paradise for yatchsmen. ~ 25/7/2006

Private : Japan
Postcard from Fukiko of Japan. This card shows a Kabuki actor. She mentioned Ukiyoe which is Japanese wood-block print so I’m assuming that this is a Ukiyoe of a Kabuki actor. ~ 31/7/2006

Private : Japan
Another postcard from Fukiko, Japan. This card shows Nagoya Castle which is now used as a museum. Most parts of the castle was burnt down during WW2 but now has been rebuit. ~ 31/7/2006

Postcards!

Ok…I’m home recovering from chicken pox right? This is my 3rd post today thus, I foresee myself repeatedly coming back to my blog to post something, anything at all…just to keep sanity in check, you know? So I thought, why not follow my protege, Pelf in showing off my postcards. :grin: I had actually created a subdomain specially for my postcard collection but then it struck me ~ how many people would actually take the time to go there and check out my collection, right? So I have decided that instead of inviting people to check out my collection, I shall now FORCE you to check out my collection by putting up all the postcards that I have received beginning with my latest 8 postcards and then I shall backtrack them until I’ve posted them ALL up. Wheeeeeeee! :dancing:
