Create a blog post about anything technology related that interests you this week. Preferably reflect on what you’ve learned about Flickr and Flickr mashups.

Tips:
*You may find it helpful to listen to the podcast developed by Helene Blowers for PLCMC. We have not included it on our site because she references PLCMC directly at times, but if you can ignore that part and focus on all of the good information she has to share you will find it helpful.
