Missed some step? Trouble getting our 5 frame story part of Group for event...

10-19-2009 3:30 PM

It appears that our submitted photo story is not a part of correct group, or at least when I search for our photos with a filter for the tsdigs tag within the Tech Soup Global group, they are not found.  In advance, I do realize that I am asking this too late, however after having a few hiccups earlier in the process, we thought we finally had our 5 image set as part of the correct group for the digital storytelling event - only now that I am home for the day, and thought I would peruse the many wonderful entries, realized that our photos aren't there.  Can someone advise what step we missed?

Here's what we did (or thought we did): Note: We did not have a yahoo account or photos on flickr so we created all of this new today.  We uploaded the photos into a newly created set, assigned each photo the tag tsdigs, gave a location, & then joined the group Tech Soup Global & when I look at my Groups, it shows the TechSoup Global and when on the group page, I dragged the photos to the Group Name.  Again, I realize submissions closed at noon, but we would hate to miss out again, so I'd still like to figure out what step we missed this time.  Thank so much for your help!  (Based on the directions online I think this is the correct place to post this, however I don't see many other questions like ours, so please accept my apologies in advance if I should be directing this elsewhere - of course that could just be a sign of our inexperience!.)

Hi Megan,

I am very sorry I didn't included my org info - I think I was so focused on what happened that I neglected to include the basics!  I am with Paws with Purpose, an organization based on Louisville, KY that trains & provides assistance dogs to individuals with disabilities.  I appreciate your assistance & if we still can be included that would be great.

Before I received your reply, I kept trying to figure out what step we missed and I went back & tried dragging the photos from the set one at a time again to the group and now I think they are appearing correctly, although I am not sure.  The pictures are of one of our assistance dogs as a puppy & then at 3 yrs old as a fully certified assistance dog helping her human companion "do the laundry".  Our yahoo email is pawswithpurpose@yahoo.com but this email I use with TechSoup is my primary one.

Thanks!

- Amy

Hi Amy--

No worries, I checked and it looks like your story is up on the Flickr group. I know sometimes it's hard to tell when you're submitting whether it "takes" or not, but you followed the directions just fine & your story is in the group. I made sure that the story was included in the submissions to the judges. Thanks for submitting and please don't hesitate to post any more tech questions, digital storytelling or otherwise,  you might have in the forums.

 

Best,

Thanks so much, Megan.  Definitely am more comfortable on all fronts - I think we had been a bit hesitant about posting "public" questions, being in the right place to post, etc.[..although we certainly get that we all benefit from each other's knowledge (both questions & answers);  we have found all of the forums very helpful].  Again, we really appreciate your assistance with this.  Cheers!  - Amy
