Also it's hard to see the changes in the images in the blog post. The images have been resized to fit within the blog post. In flickr, the images are much larger. When you scan something in at 300 dpi (dots per inch), you can subtly change the texture of the image. The improves the print quality. In your photo editing software the dot size is fixed, so a 4"x5" 300 dpi image is larger than a 72 dpi image. The printer will print more colored dots per inch, i.e. a 4"x5" 300dpi image is the same size as a 4"x5" 72dpi image.
