In the past I was very active on the photo-site Flicker ( http://www.flickr.com), which offers a great way to share pictures. I liked it even so much that I got myself a paid account on Flickr. In the beginning I linked pictures I wanted to have on my weblog here directly from my Flickr-account.
But things change during time… I got my own photo-site, which soon will get a major upgrade.
I started to store pictures, that I wanted to use on my weblog here, directly on the webspace of my weblog. Nothing faster as that and the pictures are stored in a secure way.
All with all, I started to use Flickr less and less.
This week I got a mail from Flickr that I soon have to pay my yearly contribution for Flickr again. I don’t mind to pay when needed, but not for things I don’t use anymore. So I decided to shutdown my Flickr-account.
So right now I am moving the pictures of my older postings from Flicker to my weblog. Sounds easy… and it isn’t indeed hard work. But it is a lot of work and something that needs to be done very precise.
Anyway, it has to be done 🙂 Well, now you know what I will be doing this weekend :p
Poor Rob, so busy in his free weekend!!!
Just teasing you. I know how much your blog means to you. And I think it is great how you already keep it for such a long time updated.
