Ok, so some people have asked me how I did the
Memory Map from the previous post. I'm gonna do a quick write up to help you get started.
1. Go to
http://maps.google.com and type in your starting address, city, or whatever
2. Once you get the image sized correctly, with everything positioned the way you want it, hit the PrintScreen button on your keyboard.
3. Open your favorite image editing software and paste the image into it, crop all internet explorer stuff from around the picture.
3a. If you don't have any image editing software, paste it into Microsoft Word and save the document as a webpage. This will create a .jpg file in the document's folder.
4. Go to
http://www.flickr.com and create an account.
5. Upload your image to flickr.
6. Use the "Add Note" feature in flickr to create highlighted areas with descriptions.
7. Share your Memory Map with the
Memory Maps Pool and everyone else as well!
I hope this helps any of you who thought it was too difficult to do. It's really not, especially with the "Add Note" feature of flickr.
