Learning the hard way

I’m one of those who learn by doing, and sometimes I end up learning the hard way. That’s what happened today when I took a whole bunch of my favorite pictures from this summer and added them in the post called Flowers in Kirkenes. I added lots of tags I found relevant and hit “Publish”. Then I learned that if the post has too many tags, somewhere around 10 or 12, the post won’t go out into the global streams. I tried checking out re-blogging, re-publishing and whatever else might work, but I couldn’t find any quick fixes. So here I go again – with far less tags. To those who follow my blog I am sorry you might see the pictures twice. On the bright side I learned something today (- I’ve been really restrictive on the tagging this time)!

Flowers in Kirkenes

I just spent 2 weeks of my summer vacation in Kirkenes in the far northeast of Norway, and I’m so happy I brought my camera (anything else would be unspeakable). I got lots of pictures of Kirkenes, of the town and surroundings in lovely summer weather. Some days with cold North Norwegian weather gave me the oppurtuniy to go for more than one photo safari in my mother in law’s lush sunroom and greenhouse. I’ve found some of the flowers’ names, but not all of them and I might have got some wrong.
