Flickr

The photos of the State Library are wonderful. They really show the library as part of Sydney's cultural heritage, and as a beautiful building that graces Sydney's urban landscape. The library (I guess I'm talking about the Mitchell wing here) is such a lovely building and these photos are an opportunity to show it off to people who might never set foot in it.
On the photos of the interiors and of people I guess I'm wondering about copyright and putting people on the internet who are not aware of this and/or who haven't necessarily given permission.
Labels and tag lines - a popular embracing of plain language cataloguing and retrieval terms.

I had a look at the Powerhouse Museum blog. All the entries seem to be written by Seb Chan. He's listed at the manager of the blog so it may be that he oversees all the blogs and therefore his name appears - or are all the blog entries by the same person ie merely information as opposed to a forum for community input, or journal-like entries inviting comments.

I find it rather frustrating because I saved my first entry, but didn't publish it, and then couldn't find it again (I finally did by clicking every link on the page.)
I also don't know how to move things around the page within the selected template. I'll investigate.
