Does anyone know how to upload a batch of pic's to Flickr?? I spent an hour on Friday photographing all the yarn I have that's not organized in bins. Then I spent an hour and a half trying to figure out Flickr!! (Thanks Throws for the help and sympathetic ear. We still couldn't find how to upload a batch, though. sigh.) So far, I've found that you can drag/drop pic's, but only one at a time! That way lies madness, friends. I'm doing this so I can organize my stash on Ravelry. Once I got the pic's on Flikr and named them all, the Ravelry part its pretty fast and easy. But still, the whole time, during the whole process, all I could think was this small mantra:
I could be knitting now. I could be knitting now.
The good news is: Holy crap, I've got lots of yarn!!
The bad news is: Holy crap, I've got lots of yarn!!
The good news for others is:
a) my summer stash swap partner is going to get hooked UP
b) I'm having a mini-contest!
My next post will be my 100th!!
Send me a link to your 1st and (if you have one) your 100th post and I will enter you in a drawing for some mystery yarn and some bonus little baubles I've been playing with making. (If there's some type of yarn you are completely opposed to, let me know in your comment.) If you don't have a blog, send me a link to the first really memorable blogpost you remember that got you into reading blogs. This contest will close on Friday, July 20, 2007 at midnight. I will be picking a random number (actually, I'll have the boys each pick a number, then I'll add them together and divide by 3). (Just kidding!) If I get over 50 entries, I'll pick two numbers. (One entry per person.)
Here's an update on my slow TDF KAL socks...
Pattern: Baudelaire (knitty.com) Yarn: Claudia Handpaints Butter Pecan
Needle: Size 1 Addi Turbo
Massage Monday: short and sweet today, gotta give my life this week to Flikr and Ravelry (the inlaws leave Tucson, driving out here starting Thursday).
Sit in an unsoft chair (desk chair/dining chair, that sort of thing). Grab the edge of the seat between your knees with both hands. Round you shoulders and pull on the seat. This stretches your midback quite nicely.
On to my latest time-suck, Ruth!

Bummer about the Flickr thing. If I have some time today I'll look at it too. ;)
Hmm, a bit hard to be sure of my 100th, so I'll just try to be close. First.
Roughly #100.
Here's the first: uberstrickenfrau.blogspot.com/2006/12/begin-again-and-again-and-again-and.html
And I haven't got to 100 yet :o)
Yeah, that whole flicker thing and spending too much time on ravelry... I've been on for a bit, but haven't spent any time there on my account, though I have browsed some patterns. My regular blogging is a big enough time suck! Here's my first knitting post, (I never did get to the day of the dead dolls),
http://knitnzu.livejournal.com/2006/09/16/...off to see if I have 100, wow, I have OVER 100!, here's 100, it was recent, from the trip out west, http://knitnzu.livejournal.com/2007/05/31/. I really love your message monday stretches! I share them around the office. Oh, and the pkg is off, I went back and got your address off the contest page, I was just too excited and had to let you know (before I looked!).
Sorry about your flickr woes. I don't know how to do it any faster. Except, maybe have a drink.
I love the butter pecan yarn. And the Baudelaire pattern is great. Just really slow. At least for me.
Congratulations on your milestone!
My first (real) blog post:
http://chappysmom.typepad.com/bookworm/2005/01/later_that_day.html
My 100th--so far as I can tell:
http://chappysmom.typepad.com/bookworm/2005/05/april_reading.html
That's what I ALWAYS wonder about Ravelry (since I'm not cool enough to KNOW yet)...I'm sure its addictive, but I really think I'd sit there thinking about how I could be knitting!
Eee gads...first post...you're not going to read these are you?
http://knittingspells.blogspot.com/2005/09/rents.html
And the 100th...I had just complete the Knitting Olympics!

Flickr has a downloadable program that allows you to batch upload from your harddrive. It also allows you to set tags at the time of upload and specify what album the photos will load into.
Woot, a contest!
My first was:
http://sheepspyjamas.blogspot.com/2007/01/hihi.html
(yes, I'm still a newby!) and my hundredth, well, I'll tell you by way of a contest of mine own when I get there! :*)
Fun contest! It made me look back and I didn't realize I made that many posts! I'll use my current blog so my first is:
http://curlyknitter.wordpress.com/2006/10/12/hello-world/
And my 100th:
http://curlyknitter.wordpress.com/2007/02/01/rogue-fos-and-a-pimped-out-wheel/
What a fun idea! The first is here: http://www.divaknitting.com/blog/?p=2 (soooooooo creative) and the 100th is here: http://www.divaknitting.com/blog/?p=100 (which you will probably find pretty amusing)
My first knitting blog post was:
http://wordsandstitches.blogspot.com/2006/11/new-new-new-and-oh-so-shiny.html
I was worried it was going to be something terrible, but it had knitting content. And I still love that hat! And congrats on your 100th post! I haven't made it that far yet.
This is a link to my first post on this blog: http://heideho.wordpress.com/2007/01/07/hello-world/
I've only had 74 entries on it, but my previous knitting blog
http://heideho.blogspot.com/
was used for several years.
Congratulations on your 100th post! Flickr bites... hence the silly, random images on my sidebar courtesy of flickr.
this was my first post...almost a year ago

I haven't played around with flickr yet; too many other things I can't figure out so I don't need another one to make me feel too old to figure stuff out. lol

Hey- I'm home! Still having a contest?
Here's my first post and here's my hundreth. Cool idea for a contest. I can't wait until I have more time to check out the entries!
I think I got it now.
First post

I have a program called "Flickr Uploadr" that's really useful. I think that's the one pixie (of course it would be her :) ) was referring to. It also lets you make batch tags, which is awesome! Unfortunately, you can't make batch titles, which is only annoying if you're uploading 20 tutorial pics like I have to do this morning :(
My blog platform is Wordpress, so I wasn't sure how to figure out which post was my 100th. I have an idea, though! Here's my first:
http://needle-exchange.ca/2006/05/24/a-fresh-new-blog/
And here's my 100th-ish-I-think.
http://needle-exchange.ca/2006/09/11/knitting-and-politics/
I should have realized it didn't automatically make links. Here's my first and hundredth.
Here's my first entry:
http://knitiotsavant.typepad.com/knitiot_savant/2005/02/index.html
here's my 100th:
http://knitiotsavant.typepad.com/knitiot_savant/2006/04/index.html
(It's called Blechidote. Scroll down a bit and you'll see it.)
Love the sock!
the post that started it all:

100th post:

have you tried using the flickr uploader tool? it's a thing you download and then you drag&drop your pics to it and click upload. you can give the lot a few tags, but I think you need to edit individually if you want more detailed descriptions. I don't put descriptions on most of mine, so I might be wrong on that part.
I am still activly building my blog...i am so slow , for some reason i think i am making it more difficult than it really is! LOL.
so the first post is:
http://turtleslakeknitting.blogspot.com/
lol, working on getting there!
Flickr can be a stinker! If you still need the help let me know and Ill walk you through it, k?
