Pittsburg State University Korea Delegation 2008

Another Photo Resource

2008-06-17T11:28:00.002-05:00

Hello all,

I've recently come across another photo website. This site is currently giving people a pro account when you sign up, so you're given - I think it is - 4 GBs of storage space.

http://www.zooomr.com/

I don't know how long this offer is going to be available.

There hasn't been much activity here, so I'm hoping that an alternative will be helpful. :)

Added Flickr Links

2008-06-05T12:38:00.002-05:00

Hello folks,

I've added links to the Flickr albums. Those links are now in the side menu of the blog and can be reached by clicking on the image.

Currently I only have a link to Sarah's Flickr and my own because I do not know the URL of anyone else's Flickr photostream. I can add others as I learn the addresses.

I tried to choose photos that are pleasing and had a good shape to fit into the side menu. Hopefully others agree with my choices.

You can change and add similar links easily:

Go to the "Layout" area of the administrator panel.
You'll see a representation of the side menu. Click "Add Page Element" from the mock side menu
Find "Picture" and click the blue "Add To Blog" button.
Find the web address of the photo that you want to use and paste that into the appropriate box
Copy the link to the photostream and paste that link into the "Link" box.
The "Title" appears above the image.
The "Caption" appears below the image. eg; "^ Sarah's Flickr Page" is the Caption

There is a "slide show" widget available as well, but obtaining a Flickr username is a pain in the rear. There also does not seem to be a way to designate a particular photostream, so it would display many unrelated images. That's why I went with the static image links. Feel free to change this as seen fit, of course! ;D

We can also add a link list to our Facebook pages or other social web resources to aid in keeping in contact with one another. I don't know if anyone will be interested in such a feature or if others would feel as though such a list would fit the theme of this blog, so I haven't added it. :)

I'm trying to add features that are related, useful, and make this resource easier for everyone to use, but in no way do I want to seem as though I'm being bossy or such. I've been doing the blogging thing for quite awhile, so tinkering around is very much a habit for me.

Later folks,
~a fairly tired Steph

Ok, so I made a Flickr page too, and I have to admit it's pretty cool. If anyone else does this, just shoot up a link or something on here. Here's mine:

Here are a few photos from my collection. You can view the rest of them in this Flickr photo stream (click me). Feel free to request that any particular photo be added here.

My favorite experiences from the Korea trip were:

"NANTA", who put on a great show
That beautiful island garden
Meeting up with a friend of mine there
...and, of course, seeing the sites!

If anyone has any photos of me, please send them my way so that I can share those photos with my friends and family. I'm the tall quiet guy. Click here to send me an email.

That link prevents robots from harvesting my email address for spam, but I'll have to respond to your email first before you can send me any attachments. Sorry about that extra step.

Of course if you have a Flickr or imageshack link or some such then that works great too.

Thank you! :)

Above: A fountain wide open on the sidewalk. Now there's a crazy idea that managed to work out quite well.

Above: That's just amazing... crazy, but amazing. There's nothing soft to land on and only a short woman standing at the side to catch her if anything goes wrong.

Above: A friend of mine saw this and immediately made a comment about clowns. Twirly Korean clowns?

Above: She appeared to be posing for her boyfriend, but the look & setting were too cute to not steal a shot as I walked by. They laughed about it, so I don't think that I bothered them too much.

Above: I like to call this the fence of wishes.

Above: A view that I couldn't resist.

Some Photos

The wonderful Bibimbob luncheon in the mountians (the view was wonderful anyway, and so was the fresh air, although I'm not so sure about the Bibimbop).

A some thousand year old Buddhist tapestry hanging in the National Museum of Korea.

A really cool building I saw while checking out the Seoul night life.

A pretty scene at the Changdeokgung Palace.

And another.

Is he really watching the UN flag, or is he asleep? Hmm...

Makin' some sushi.

Just a few to start out with, I think most of my photos came out quite well...

An Ode...
