The only thing is I noticed on their help page that the stuff I uploaded onto my skitch page might get erased, so I’m not uploading to the skitch page anymore, since I don’t want a bunch of empty photo spots in my blog. Instead I set up a flickr page to upload them to, which with skitch is a snap. There are a few more steps of writing out the code to link from my blog to the photo in flickr. Of course I could just save the pic file to my computer and upload it to wordpress (but there again even a few more additional steps involved.) The skitch way is easier, faster, spontaneous. It lets you be creative.

Here’s another use of skitch from yesterday - a friend of mine was thinking of going bird watching in a remote location. He wasn’t sure if there was a trailhead there. I had birded there and knew where the trailhead was. I was going to try and explain where it was, but that would take five minutes to type out, and he might not understand exactly where I meant. I then went to googlemaps and found the spot and was going to copy and paste the url and send him that. Then I remembered I had skitch, so I skitched the google map, and wrote a little text and drew an arrow, and emailed it to him. (cutting and pasting a google maps url seems archaic to me now).

Anyway, this ap is great - thanks again Colin for the beta.
