Where my blog posts really are
Blogger is what I introduce new bloggers to and what I use for the various shared blogs listed in my profile. I started off blogging with another system and am reluctant to change just yeat. So see Otterman speaks...

TUAW: Flickr Uploadr v3 beta is out
TUAW SAYS Flickr Uploadr v3 beta is out: "
There are plenty of ways to get pictures from your Mac up to Flickr; among them the 'official' and free tool, Flickr Uploadr, which is now being revised to version 3. The second beta version of v3 is out for download. This uploader is an open-source project, so anyone interested in the source code can download that along with the compiled app.
New in v3 of the uploader tool is the capability of tagging, sorting and setting permissions on multiple photos prior to the upload to Flickr, along with a preflight resize to reduce data transfer and help keep you under your upload threshold. The beta currently has a menu display problem under Leopard but seems to be otherwise functional and speedy (Christina noted that it's dramatically faster than the web-based upload tool). Get those turkey pictures online!

More baskets for eggs these days
I'm really thankful setting up a webpages is so easy these days.
I found myself unable to access my servers yesterday and remembered some notice about maintenance from 3am-7am. Perhaps a port (or something) had remained closed but there is no one to help until Monday!
The International Coastal Cleanup is at hand and we try to post results and photos immediately. The Zone Captains get data off the participants so that everyone's "homework" is over and people like to see photos of their eventful day online.
So this morning, I turned to Wordpress: coastalcleanup.wordpress.com. Later I'll insert a feed widget into the main webpage at coastalcleanup.nus.edu.sg
These tools are lovely!

Testing new Blogger templates
As you might have imagined from the colours, I've been playing the new template options.
See the "recent comments" addition in the "Cycling in Singapore" blog. Nice! Kenneth suggested it in the "Friends of Yesterday" mailing list and I tried it out. Had to clear off spam first though!
