Well I can see that my blog is woefully out of order but I can see how to straighten things up from now on. Experience and trial and error are helping.
I have been exploring some of the fun Flickr mahups and third party tools which are available.
Just what is a 'mashup'? The CSLA link sent me to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_(web_application_hybrid) which was helpful. A mashup is a hybrid web application that takes features from one application like Flickr and mashes it up with another such as a map giving us Mapr. Another example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data. The end result is a new and distinct web service.

A mashup that intrigued me was 'trippermap', or should that be 'tripprmap'? Trippermap allows you to put a flash based world map of your Flickr photos on your own website or blog. Trippermap will then automatically search your photos at flickr for location information and plot the photos on your own Trippermap, on your own website. Going traveling around the world? Trippermap will allow you to arrange photos according to the countries visited. Trippermap had a very helpful tutorial on its home page along with a tour and a blog. Check it out!
