an informal outlet, blogs allow you to experiment with different writing styles and voices, enabling you to find a tone that is right for you.

What is academic blogging and how can you use it to build your professional profile?.
There are many other good reasons that would apply inside and outside academia in this post/presentation.
Lorna is drinking her own blogwater with @cogdog‘s WordPress presentation splot too.
Read: Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss 📚 ★★★★☆ Short read. Some nice nature writing contrasts the unpleasant abusive father.

Flickr Changes
Why we’re changing Flickr free accounts | Flickr Blog
Beginning January 8, 2019, Free accounts will be limited to 1,000 photos and videos. If you need unlimited storage, you’ll need to upgrade to Flickr Pro.
I got my mail from Flickr today explaining the changes. I’ve a pro account so it will not affect my photos at all.
I’ll be more interested in how it affects search. I often use Flickr photos to illustrate blog post, presentations and in my classroom.
I also encourage my pupils to use cc licensed images. It is hard for 8-11 year olds to attribute but the flick API allows me to help them with FlickrCC Stampr.
I wonder if the search will be less useful. There was some chat about keeping CC Images. I do hope so.
Update thanks to ronguest and jemostrom in the comments:
Photos that were Creative Commons licensed before our announcement are also safe. We won’t be deleting anything that was uploaded with a CC license before November 1, 2018. Even if you had more than 1,000 photos or videos with a CC license. However, if you do have more than 1,000 photos or videos uploaded, you’ll be unable to upload additional photos after January 8, 2019, unless you upgrade to a Pro account.

I’ve started this one a few times, but finally go the groove after hearing Tim Winton on a podcast. Enjoyed it. Quite preposterous ending. 📚
