WordPress.com has Freshly Pressed which feature blogs and flickr has Explore which features photographs. In both cases, no one has a clue how their blogs or photos get selected. In my first year at flickr, I had two photos selected. This year I have had three and I did not even know it until this week. Yep, a big old goose egg in between. We all want our photographs to be appreciated and being Explored is nice. Just as being Freshly Pressed is.
I applaud both WordPress.com and flickr for taking the effort to highlight bloggers and photographers. I often browse these services for inspiration and have found many new contacts along the way.
I am proud of the photos that were Explored. As I am of all the photos I choose to share with you. Have a great day!

Well done, that’s great! It’s such a buzz being freshly pressed/explored (though I ‘only’ got pressed once), isn’t it? Fantastic, congrats!

A buzz it sure was. I was lucky to get Freshly Pressed on a Friday and was left on the front page for almost three days. I tried not to watch the hit counter but I couldn’t help myself. Same thing happened on flickr this week. Must be the little statistician in me.

Congrats! I’ve had a few of my pictures make explore, but I haven’t updated my flickr account in ages… probably since before I started blogging.

Thanks, Michaela. I use flickr for a lot of my Disney photos so it is not surprising that three of the five are related to Disney. I have been trying to link the blog and flickr communities but there is not a lot of cross over between the two kinds of social networking.

Congratulations, Scott! 🙂
I knew about Freshly Pressed but had no idea about Flikr. I’m still figuring it out. I’ve been a member there for a couple of years, but only used it to store photos privately up until recently.
