  I would like to embed a set of flickr photos into my posts, but they appear as thumbnails which are too small for viewing. Is there a way I can embed them in original size as a set?

  With Flickr’s recent changes, they have apparently removed the ability to embed as a set, sadly.

  One work around is to upload the images directly to your WordPress.com and add them to your site as a Gallery.

  The link has more details, but it is pretty straightforward. When editing a post, click Add Media above the editor, then Create Gallery and follow the prompts.

  If you have any other questions or anything else we can do for you, please let me know!

  Thanks, Kraft! I have to wait on the media library, though, as I need to purchase some storage since I’m over my limit ;-).

  That’ll get ya, eh? :-) Since the last time you had a storage upgrade, we’ve increased our amount, so you’ll get more space for the money!

  Hope you had a great weekend and let me know if you need anything else!
