In days of old I would painstakingly tweak my travel photos in Adobe Photoshop and upload each and every one of them with a thorough description and appropriate links. I wouldn’t even have considered uploading videos, as the large file sizes would eat up my available server storage faster than you could watch them.

But this past weekend I placed my precious travel souvenirs in the very capable hands of Flickr and YouTube, both free services and current darlings of the social media set. It was such a painless experience that I’m starting to rethink this whole blog re-design thing.

Considering that this very page has permanent links to both my Flickr and del.icio.us accounts, and that I’ve also had a free Blogger account since 2003, maybe I can nix my monthly web server bill by having AC.ca re-direct to a start page that will list all these other accounts as links.

I’ll try to mock one up this week to show you what I mean…

I’ve got about forty photos up so far on my Flickr page, and also a couple of videos on YouTube. The photos are a bit of a work in progress—I’m still adding descriptions and I don’t know the names of some of the other authors at the NALIS reading.

Little help, Ray?

You can see them in all their glory right here.

My next steps are to link-ify my previous entries from China, and fill you in on the rest of my trip!
