We recently got a new digital camera. I wouldn’t want you to think that our Mia is the only thing we’ve been taking pictures of, but we did get some especially good ones today. One thing about Mia is that she’s fond of boxes…the [ins](http://www.flickr.com/photos/78538399@N00/5269385261/)… And the [outs](http://www.flickr.com/photos/78538399@N00/5269387281/). And she can be moody, if interrupted while she’s getting her [roughage](http://www.flickr.com/photos/78538399@N00/5269389225/in/photostream/) (or coming down from the catnip). Most of all she likes to get her nose into [everything](http://www.flickr.com/photos/78538399@N00/5269360687/in/photostream/)! ---

If I don’t get an answer in a couple of days, I’ll post them somewhere else. Does anybody know a good image hosting site? (Obviously, not Photobucket.) Until then…you all might consider opening a Flickr account. If you like cats, I think it’ll be worth it. ---

I do not have a Flickr account, and I can see the pictures. Very cute cat, she makes me think of one that I had when I was young. What’s up with the lobsters? ---

When our first cat, Radar, was a kitten he loves boxes! But now that he’s bigger [he’s](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n283/home_gurly25_2006/100_2635.jpg) [not](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n283/home_gurly25_2006/100_2837.jpg) [picky!](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n283/home_gurly25_2006/IMG_0140.jpg) Our second cat, Otto, just likes to cover himself up and sleep under a [blanket!](http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n283/home_gurly25_2006/otto.jpg) Yay for adorable cats! ---

You can specify the privacy level as you upload photos using the form or Uploadr or by email). You can choose: Public, Visible to friends, Visible to family, or Private. > > You can also set a default privacy level for all your uploads. > > To change the privacy levels on photos you’ve already uploaded, you have two options: Change the privacy level in the Owner settings section under the Privacy heading on the right of the photo page, or batch them in Organizr, then click “Permissions” and select “Who can see, comment, tag?” > > As of April 20, 2007, changing the privacy level of any photo (“public” –\> “friends”, or “friends” –\> “family”) will change the image file name. This ensures that any photo truly becomes private. > > Please note that this will “break” any photo that has been blogged elsewhere as the image file will have a new URL. ---
