Flickr Part B



Mashups are quite easy and interesting... who are these people who invent this stuff? I now have a trading card and a Flickr Badge. I patterned my trading card after my hero Nancy Pearl (Book Lust) and asked Flickr to find all public Sherlock Holmes photos for the Badge. I am amazed at how simple it all is - even when it requires copying code which I am totally clueless at creating. It would be fun to have a Flickr Badge of the latest library event on a library's homepage, kids could create trading cards for themselves, for fictional characters, for biographical research, the applications are endless. Yet, I am frustrated with the layout of my blog page as it grows. Is there some easy way to move things around similar to a desktop publishing document?

Have you tried a google search for custom blogger layouts/templates? There are a few out there.
