Thing 6 -- Flickr Mashups

I already had a flickr account, established during a NEFLIN workshop on Digital Cameras back in the Spring of 2005. I've not used it much since then, but here's a recent photo that I took of a quilt I just finished making. It is called a Nine-Patch Scrap Quilt. I made it from scraps of fabric that I've been collecting over the last 30 years or so.

This is a picture I took at sunset in Cedar Key in the fall of 2007. Can you believe we have this beautiful natural treasure just 50 miles from Gainesville?

I also looked at a "mashup" from Flickr. It wasn't very hard to get to it. After clicking on the link for "spell with flickr," I typed my name, then photos popped up from the millions that are stored in Flickr. I had the option to change one by clicking on the letter. Once I got the photo letters I liked, I copied and pasted the html code into this post. That's all there was to it. I was able to view the photo letters once briefly during preview, but after publishing all I can see are those little red x's that say here's a picture but you can't see it. What gives????
I'm not one to give up easily, so I let this rest for a while and then came back for another look. On 2/12, checked in on my google reader, where I am receiving rss feeds from several other Millhopper staff bloggers. Two of them had successfully spelled something using mashup!!! Lucky for me, one of them included instructions. So now you can see my name spelled out with flickr photos. Hurray!
Here's my attempt to use splashr:
