Thing 5. More with Flickr

It's good to be back working on the Things. I love the Spell with Flickr feature. It was easy to cut-and-paste the html from Erik Kastner's amazing site. I had difficulty figuring out how to adjust the alignment of letters, but it was really fun to choose different letters to display. This kind of display may be a little harder to read on the web, but used sparingly it really adds a lot of visual interest to a web page. I could see applications on library web pages to engage an audience that responds more and more to graphic displays of information instead of text. I also played around with the Clockr feature, but decided not to include it on my blog.
