Can my WordPress blog link to PRIVATE YouTube and Flickr accounts?

    My wife and I are new to the world of authoring blogs and publishing videos and pics, so apologies if this is a silly question.

    We just had a child, and we want to create a WordPress blog that links to Flickr pictures and YouTube videos of our kid. We’ve already created and uploaded stuff to all 3 resources.

    However, we only want friends and family to be able to access it all. Therefore, we set up all three accounts as private.

    Now we are wondering if it might be possible for our friends and family to log into the WordPress account and to see the pictures and videos via WordPress without separately having to log into Flickr and YouTube.

    Is this a crazy idea? Among other possibilities, I was wondering if it might be possible to do this somehow using OpenID (with which I have ZERO familiarity).

    Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

    I don’t know about Flickr, but you can’t do it with YouTubes. YouTube private videos can’t be hotlinked the way we do here at WP.com. God knows, I’ve tried.

    You CAN put a text link in a blog post that goes to the YouTube page, though. They’ll have to sign in there.
