Library of Congress Photos on Flickr

Filed under: Technology, family history books — neal @ 9:16 pm

Great news from Flickr and the Library of Congress. They are offering 3,000 public domain photos to the web as creative commons. This means that most of these photos can be added to books or websites without copyright restrictions. MemoryPress currently allows you to add your own photos from Flickr. Who’d like to add photos from this historical collection? While anyone can download the photos from Flickr or the Library of Congress website and then upload them to their MemoryPress account, it would be possible to make them available inside your MemoryPress account so that you can drop them right into your book. What do you all think? Who would use this service?

Listen to the Pyxlin audio introduction:

We thought our MemoryPress users would like to hear that we have just launched our Online Journaling Program called Pyxlin. Pyxlin is the smart way to journal. It was created so that people can keep their daily journal online in an easy-to-use, very secure format, and then have it professionally published when they are ready. Some of you may have heard of Pyxlin before. It has been around but, just this week, it was finalized and launched to the general public. It is ready for all journal writers to come and give it a try. Use it in place of your diary, written journal, or scrapbook. If you are already typing your journal entries on your computer, then you definitely need to give Pyxlin a try. It has so many benefits to traditional journals. Here are some of the great features of Pyxlin.

  1. Your journal is password protected with a 256 Bit Encrypted Log-in (we’re talking bank quality security).
  2. Access your journal from any internet connection in the world. No more forgetting to bring it with you.
  3. Each of your journal entries is automatically dated with todays date - Or choose any date you wish.
  4. You can organize your journal however you wish. Have a new journal for each aspect of life, or rearrange your entries with a simple drag and drop.
  5. You can add unlimited photos to your journal. You can place them directly into your journal entry, or have an entire page of photos. No more journals with loose pictures or ticket stubs falling out. Simply scan them and drop them right onto the page.
  6. 37% of journalers have lost their journal. This is one journal you CAN’T lose. House fires, computer crashes, they won’t matter. We have all your information safely archived in 3 places.
  7. Once your ready, Pyxlin will professionally typeset all your text and photos, and you can publish your journal into a professional hardbound book.

If you haven’t tried Pyxlin before, you’ve got to try it now. With your MemoryPress login you already have access to Pyxlin. Click the word Pyxlin in the upper right hand corner of your account and start a journal today.
